Sylwia Wielgosz is a licensed mental health counselor in New York (NY LMHC 007118) with 14 years of clinical experience. She practices in New York and focuses on addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and care for gay clients, working as a non-religious, liberal therapist.
Her professional history includes supporting people recovering from complex trauma - including socioeconomic and spiritual oppression - as well as those affected by cis- and hetero-normativity and individuals who have caused harm. She also brings subcultural competence in areas such as BDSM, polyamory, and occultism. Sylwia applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques, provides psychoeducation about mental health, offers validation and affirmation, helps clients reclaim personal power, and consistently addresses the tasks and goals established together in treatment planning. She collaborates with clients to create plans that improve quality of life, relationships, self-soothing, and accountability, aiming for effective outcomes and helping clients develop the understanding and skills needed to live by an individualized blueprint. She is currently offering text-only sessions through BetterHelp.
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. Clients can choose how they connect with their therapist, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and clients can switch therapists if they want a different fit, helping ensure the therapeutic relationship meets their needs.
