About June

June OConnor is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of practice. She lives part of the year in Arizona and part in Montana, and is licensed to work with people in those two states. June draws on long personal experience with low self-esteem and major life changes, and she uses that history to relate to clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, anger, and other challenges.

June keeps sessions direct and practical. She says discomfort at the start of therapy is normal and can offer gentle challenges when appropriate. She prefers clear, teachable skills that come from years of practice. June explains that many behaviors began with a positive intention; the goal is to keep the intention while learning new ways to reach it.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with concrete techniques. June uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and mindfulness when they fit a client's needs. She adjusts pace and technique to what a person finds tolerable and useful.

June emphasizes learning as part of therapy. She aims to show alternatives to patterns that no longer work and to practice small changes in everyday situations. She also focuses on relationship and communication patterns, parenting strains, career stress, and emotions tied to trauma and loss.

People who prefer a straightforward, experienced guide may find her style appealing. She asks clients to be ready for honest feedback and active effort between sessions. To start, readers should confirm current session options and licensing for Arizona or Montana before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

June often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered work means the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's concerns, helping people put words to what they feel. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on practical skills to notice thoughts and change unhelpful behaviors, which can help with anger, anxiety, and stress.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings shape difficult interactions. That work helps people name patterns in relationships and practice alternative responses. June treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision and will work with clients to find what fits their goals and comfort level.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals help clients decide if online sessions suit their needs and adjust methods and homework to work well over remote appointments.
