About Sylwia

Sylwia Wielgosz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. Sylwia has 14 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Sylwia also brings attention to adoption and foster care histories, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, and neurodiversity in sessions.

Clients can expect a straightforward, skills-based approach. Sylwia uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address current problems.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize learning tools for self-soothing, communication, and accountability. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes. Sylwia also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how past connections shape present behavior.

Jungian themes may appear for clients who want to explore meaning, symbols, or deeper personal narratives. Work can include psychoeducation about mental health and culturally aware discussion of subcultural practices like BDSM and polyamory. Therapy starts with shared goal-setting and a written plan to track progress.

Sylwia focuses on helping people build an individualized blueprint for living. Homework and practice are used to transfer skills into daily life. Sessions are available online in several formats including text-based work.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs and readiness for change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then build action-based plans tied to personal values. It suits issues like anxiety, avoidance, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new skills to change behavior and mood. It is often useful for mood, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns. Jungian ideas may appear for clients who want to explore personal symbols, dreams, and deeper narrative themes as part of meaning-making.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine methods that fit your needs. Together you will tailor a plan and adjust it over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
