About Raymond
Raymond DiCiccio helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He is a licensed clinical social worker in California and aims to create a calm, practical space for people to talk about difficult feelings. He speaks English and uses straightforward methods to help clients make small, steady shifts in their daily lives.

Background and approach
He also uses client-centered listening to make people feel heard and respected as they figure out what matters most to them. His work includes support for compassion fatigue, codependency, and commitment concerns. He also helps with issues tied to illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric matters, and relationship patterns such as attachment or blended family stress.
He approaches these topics by breaking them into manageable parts and focusing on present challenges. Sessions are practical and conversational. Raymond helps clients increase motivation, grow self-esteem, and develop routines that reduce worry and overwhelm.
He aims to keep plans simple and doable so progress can fit into a busy life. He has four years of experience as a therapist and holds a California LCSW license, CA LCSW 101840. Work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with hard emotions. It often helps when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by worry, perfectionism, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own answers and make choices that fit their life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to a single method up front.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into daily life. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.
