About June

June OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of practice. She pursued counseling later in life after working through her own struggles, and she draws on that lived experience when meeting new clients. June describes herself as patient and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on helping people build skills that fit their life.

She believes uncomfortable feelings are normal at the start of therapy.

Background and approach

June will listen closely and offer gentle challenges when helpful. Her style mixes practical skill teaching with compassionate support so clients can try new ways of coping. June uses several therapeutic methods and adapts them to each person's comfort.

She works with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's goals and pace. Her practice includes addressing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, sleep problems, anger, career matters, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. Based in Arizona, June offers sessions in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions and supports video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and pace, creating space to talk and be heard while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. It helps when someone needs acceptance and guidance to decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

June treats the choice of approach as a team effort. She will help clients figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they can try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort with technology. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, work through practice exercises between meetings, and stay connected when in-person visits are difficult.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
