About June
June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people manage parenting stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She brings 23 years of counseling experience and a practical, down-to-earth approach. June emphasizes clear goals and a respectful, collaborative pace.
Her style centers on listening first and following each person’s lead. She treats clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are often direct and task-focused when needed, but also allow space for reflection and emotion. June uses several evidence-based approaches in her work. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space. Her background includes graduate study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. That fellowship involved work with a broad and diverse client population across ages and abilities.
June has helped people cope with serious illness, chronic conditions, caregiver stress, and other intense life challenges. She also addresses concerns such as body image, workplace stress, and mood disorders. She aims to combine practical tools with moments of perspective and, when useful, a little humor.
To begin, she works with each person on clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on helping clients make manageable changes that fit their lives.

How therapy approaches fit into online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds confidence to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. June collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can work for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when a written thread helps track progress. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity during life changes.
