June Cichowicz , LCSW

June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 23 years of professional counseling experience. She completed graduate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and holds an M.S.S.W., which is a master’s degree in social work. As an L.C.S.W. - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she blends clinical training and practical experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Her early clinical training included a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where she worked with a diverse population spanning children, teens, adolescents, and adults from varied backgrounds and abilities. That experience shaped her comfort working with transitions, serious illness, grief and loss, and the interpersonal strains that can accompany major life changes.

June’s practice focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, motivation and self-esteem, and coping with changes such as caregiving demands, chronic illness, and bereavement. She draws on a combination of collaborative, goal-oriented work and respect for each person’s lived experience, viewing clients as the experts in their own stories.

Known for bringing warmth and, when appropriate, a sense of humor to clinical work, she aims to be a steady partner in the change process. June emphasizes practical strategies and personal strengths to help clients move toward more satisfying and meaningful lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

June uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on listening and supporting the client’s own problem-solving, making it helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood regulation.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can be useful for managing intense emotions and navigating difficult relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and June collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with June is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These options allow scheduling around work, family, and health responsibilities and make it simpler to maintain continuity of support during life transitions.
