Sylwia Wielgosz is an LMHC based in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. Sylwia practices in English and focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, jealousy, addictions, and ADHD, among other areas. They bring direct, practical support for people navigating complex life situations and identity-related stressors.

Sylwia has worked with people recovering from complex trauma and from experiences tied to social and spiritual oppression. Their background includes helping people affected by cis- and hetero-normativity and those who have caused harm and want to change their behavior. They also have experience with kink and alternative subcultures such as BDSM and polyamory.

The approach centers on clear education and building skills. Sylwia uses evidence-based tools and helps clients make specific plans. Sessions focus on improving daily functioning, relationships, self-soothing, and accountability through concrete steps and practice.

Sylwia aims to validate and affirm clients while helping them find personal power. Work in therapy is collaborative: goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. The overall aim is to help clients develop an individualized blueprint for living that they can use on their own.

Clients can expect a mix of teaching, skills practice, and problem-solving. Sylwia emphasizes measurable changes in quality of life and relationships, rather than abstract theory. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats directly.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for relationship stress, anxiety about jealousy, and behaviors people want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for addiction-related behaviors and ADHD challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on which methods fit a client's goals and day-to-day life. Decisions are guided by what the person needs, how they prefer to learn, and what shows helpful results in early sessions.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are listed by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera when that feels better. Licensed professionals can combine teaching, skills practice, and planning in virtual sessions to help clients apply new tools to real situations.
