About Sylwia

Sylwia Wielgosz is a licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of clinical experience based in New York. Sylwia centers work on helping people rebuild after trauma, manage addictions, and address relationship and intimacy concerns. The first conversations focus on concrete goals and a clear plan for change.

Sylwia uses straightforward, practical steps alongside deeper therapeutic reflection. Sessions combine talk, skills practice, and psychoeducation about mental health. Clients can expect to learn tools for self-soothing, communication, and managing attention or impulse difficulties related to ADHD.

Background and approach

There is particular experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those involved in kink and alternative sexual cultures. Sylwia also brings sensitivity to adoption and foster care histories, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. These issues inform treatment planning rather than define it.

Approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sylwia works with people to create a personalized blueprint for living that fits their values and real-life demands. Progress is tracked through tasks and concrete steps agreed on in sessions.

The practice combines elements from existential thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques. These are woven together to help people understand meaning, build healthier relationships, and develop practical coping skills. Sessions may use text-based formats as part of Sylwia's online practice.

Care is nonjudgmental and aimed at increasing personal agency and healthier patterns of living.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and practical care

Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing big life questions, loss, or a sense of stuckness by clarifying values and personal priorities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, mixes acceptance of difficult feelings with committed action toward meaningful goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and problems where avoidance gets in the way of living well.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early bonds to improve how people relate and communicate today. It can help those struggling with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, values, and goals. Plans are adjusted over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or for check-ins, and chat or text can support brief updates, skill practice, or those who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
