Sylwia Wielgosz, LMHC

Sylwia Wielgosz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. Sylwia focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, intimacy challenges, addictions, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. They emphasize practical steps and clear goals in every session.

Sylwia has worked with people recovering from complex trauma and from experiences tied to social and spiritual oppression. Their background includes work with kink and alternative subcultures, and they draw on that experience to provide nonjudgmental, informed care. Sessions include psychoeducation alongside therapeutic work.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Sylwia helps people build skills for self-soothing, communication, and accountability. Together they create a plan to improve daily life and relationships, then practice new ways of coping between meetings.

The approach combines several evidence-informed methods to match a person's needs. Sylwia uses techniques to increase emotional awareness, shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and build values-based action. The aim is practical change that feels usable outside the therapy room.

People who prefer direct guidance and skill-building tend to find this style useful. Sylwia invites clients to notice progress, try new strategies, and develop a personal blueprint for living. To start, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.

How these approaches work online

Sylwia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building action based on what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This work helps people understand connection needs and try new ways of relating in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sylwia collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Because session formats can differ, confirm current online options before booking. The biography indicates text-only work at present, so verify whether other formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different methods over video, phone, or text to practice skills, review between-session tasks, and track progress.
