June Cichowicz , LCSW

June Cichowicz is a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 23 years of professional counseling experience. She holds a master’s degree in social work and completed graduate study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before pursuing a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where she worked with a broad and diverse population ranging from children and adolescents to adults with varied abilities and backgrounds.

Her clinical practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, motivation and self-esteem challenges, and the many demands that accompany life changes and transitions. She has particular experience supporting individuals coping with serious illness, grief and loss, and the adjustments that follow major life events. June also brings attention to issues such as addiction, parenting and family dynamics, bipolar and mood-related concerns, and workplace or caregiver stress.

June’s approach is grounded in collaboration and respect for each person’s own expertise about their story. She values goal-oriented teamwork and aims to help clients identify and build on strengths that support meaningful change. Her personal life experience informs her perspective, and she sometimes incorporates a sense of humor as an appropriate therapeutic tool. June welcomes people ready to take the courageous first steps toward a more satisfying and manageable life.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

June frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy and the client’s own goals; this approach helps people explore their strengths and make choices that fit their values and life circumstances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often applied to anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness and tolerating distress, which can be useful for mood regulation and coping with overwhelming situations.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and June collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining elements from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexible access to regular sessions and allows licensed professionals to support clients in ways that fit busy schedules and varied life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life.
