June OConnor, LCPC, LPC

June OConnor, LCPC, LPC, brings 25 years of clinical experience and a life lived through many of the same struggles her clients describe. She returned to school later in life after facing and overcoming personal challenges, and she draws on that perspective in sessions. June says her age and experience help her notice patterns and offer practical guidance learned over time.

June describes a straightforward, nonjudgmental style. She listens first, then offers suggestions and gentle challenges when useful. Her work emphasizes building new behaviors that meet the same needs as older, less helpful patterns. She may teach skills directly and checks in with clients about comfort and pace.

Her clinical approach includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally focused methods, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. June adapts techniques to each person’s needs and explains why a given tool might help. She frames behaviors as having positive intentions, then helps clients find alternatives that work better now.

June practices primarily in Arizona and notes seasonal residence in Montana. She is licensed as an LCPC and an LPC and has focused much of her career on issues like anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin themes.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the client can handle. June aims to teach practical skills, offer steady support, and challenge unhelpful habits so clients can move forward with clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship; the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people name and pursue personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful routines and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name feelings in the moment so they can respond differently instead of reacting out of habit.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. June will work with each person to try methods that match their needs and goals. She explains options, checks how techniques feel, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Therapists can use in-session exercises, guided breathing, cognitive tools, and EMDR-informed techniques adapted for remote work when appropriate. The main benefit is being able to continue steady therapeutic work without rearranging your entire day.
