June OConnor, LCPC, LPC

June OConnor, LCPC, LPC, brings 25 years of clinical experience and a personal perspective shaped by life changes. She began counseling later in life after working through her own struggles with self-esteem and major transitions. That lived experience informs how she listens and what she teaches in sessions. June aims to be direct and nonjudgmental while still challenging clients when needed.

Clients can expect a straightforward, down-to-earth style. June says she loves listening and sharing practical tools. She uses a mix of techniques chosen to match each person's comfort and goals. Her approach is to identify the positive intentions behind current behaviors and teach new actions that meet those same needs more effectively.

June has worked with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on matters like abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and family of origin issues.

June is licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor and practices in Arizona. She splits her time seasonally between Arizona and Montana and holds licenses for both states, though she notes she does not work outside those states.

Her sessions emphasize practical learning and steady effort. People who want a therapist who speaks plainly, challenges them gently, and shares tools learned from long experience may find her style a good fit.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out what changes matter to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot patterns that cause distress and practice new behaviors that lead to better outcomes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, works with emotional responses and helps people identify and shift patterns that get in the way of close connections and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. June collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during workday breaks or evenings. Different session formats have different practical benefits, so confirm the exact options before booking. Licensed professionals can use a mix of methods adapted for remote work, and June will discuss which techniques translate best to online sessions based on what the client prefers and needs.
