About Raymond
Raymond DiCiccio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with four years of clinical experience. He helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He also works with concerns such as codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship communication problems.
Raymond uses clear, direct conversation to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include checking daily habits, naming unhelpful thoughts, and practicing small behavior changes that fit into everyday life. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to reduce distress and build practical skills.
His style is influenced by client-centered and emotionally focused approaches. That means he pays attention to how feelings show up in relationships and to the values that matter to each person. He helps people weigh options and decide what kind of change feels realistic for them.
Raymond also brings an interest in existential questions about meaning and choice when people face major life transitions. He supports people coping with chronic health issues, grief, divorce, and blended family challenges by focusing on what they can control and accept.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the scope of practice for a California LCSW. People who want to begin are asked to use the site matching steps to schedule a first session and to confirm the current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate online
Raymond commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values even when feelings are difficult; it can help with people-pleasing and codependency patterns. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active and provides concrete exercises to change them over time.He also draws on client-centered ideas, which prioritize understanding a person’s experience and responding without judgment. Deciding which combination of methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust the approach based on what helps most.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats available before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Therapists can guide practical exercises between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
