About June

June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people build self esteem and manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She brings more than 23 years of counseling experience and a direct, supportive manner to sessions. June works with people facing grief, life transitions, and the challenges of illness and caregiving.

Her approach centers on listening carefully and treating each person as the expert on their own life. She uses practical conversation to uncover strengths and set realistic goals. Humor sometimes appears in sessions when it feels right to ease tension and open new perspective.

June trained at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That work gave her broad experience across ages and backgrounds and shaped her ability to respond to many kinds of life change.

She draws on several clinical approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, narrative elements, and psychodynamic ideas. June explains therapy steps clearly so people know what to expect.

Sessions focus on practical ways to manage emotions, improve communication, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. The goal is steady progress toward goals that matter to the individual, with June acting as a collaborative partner in that work.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping them uncover their own strengths and decide on next steps. It’s useful for building self esteem, managing life transitions, and setting goals that feel meaningful.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and habits. It offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for tolerating distress and improving emotional regulation, which can help with intense emotions and interpersonal stress.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit mood, goals, and life demands.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can use the approaches above in virtual sessions to teach skills, process difficult emotions, and practice new ways of communicating.
