About June
June Cichowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in California with more than 20 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and changes like illness or major life transitions. June focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day, and she brings a warm, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed a two-year mental health fellowship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Background and approach
That fellowship included work with a very diverse mix of people across ages and abilities. Her clinical background gives her experience with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and chronic illness adjustments. June uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people tell and reshape the stories they carry about themselves.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. June believes people are the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths clients may not notice.
She also values humor when it fits the moment and can help lighten hard conversations. Her work often addresses parenting stresses, caregiver strain, body image, workplace issues, and relationship communication problems. June aims to help people build practical coping skills and find clearer paths forward.
June holds a Master of Science in Social Work and practices as an LCSW in California. She conducts sessions in English and offers a mix of in-person and online formats depending on scheduling and client preference.

How June’s Approaches Work Online
June commonly blends Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people with mood, relationship, and life-change concerns. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem to make new choices. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead to build trust and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, teaching concrete skills to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. June will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and schedules. Video is useful for a full conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth, live chat works for quicker back-and-forth, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into school, work, caregiving, and medical schedules.
