About June

June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California with 23 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, where she worked with a wide range of ages and abilities. June draws on many therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, and narrative exploration, to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her practice often focuses on building motivation and self-esteem, navigating transitions such as serious illness or loss, and addressing concerns like parenting, family dynamics, addictions, and mood disorders. She values a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that recognizes each person as the expert in their own story and emphasizes strengths that support change.

June also incorporates practical tools and, when appropriate, a sense of humor to help clients engage with challenging material. June holds an LCSW and brings both clinical training and lived experience to her therapeutic relationships.

She aims to be a steady partner for clients taking courageous steps toward a more satisfying life, helping them move from problem-focused moments toward clearer goals and coping strategies.

Approach and Access: Online Therapy Options and Methods

June integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to mood and stress, and uses practical exercises to develop more effective coping strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship, helping clients explore their priorities and make choices that fit their values.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may blend CBT skills, narrative elements, or DBT-informed coping tools depending on the issues presented, and will be guided by the client’s feedback and progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. These formats let people access regular therapeutic support from different locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still focusing on practical skill building and progress toward goals.
