About June

June Keniston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She practices from Maine and focuses on approachable, person-centered care that starts with listening. Sessions aim to identify what's keeping a person stuck and then build practical steps forward.

The tone is grounded and straightforward to help people feel heard and seen. Her work blends several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving stress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with present-moment focus and reducing reactivity. June has particular experience supporting people facing chronic or complex health challenges.

She often works with clients dealing with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and long-term illness alongside mood and anxiety concerns. This background informs how she tailors pacing and expectations in therapy. Conversations in sessions are direct but compassionate.

She helps people set realistic goals and develop everyday tools for coping, sleeping better, and managing stress. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels difficult, to identify personal reasons for change and strengthen commitment. Therapy is offered through several online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are conducted in English from Maine.

Practical approaches for online care

June blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood, and it often includes clear homework and skill practice. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Goals, preferences, and the pace someone needs shape how CBT, DBT, or mindfulness practices are combined during treatment.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, medical care, and caregiving schedules. They also allow follow-up between sessions through messaging and make it possible to practice skills in real-life settings while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
