June OConnor is a licensed counselor with over 25 years of practice. She earned her licensure later in life after returning to school, and she draws on long experience to help people facing low self-esteem and major life changes. June presents as calm and nonjudgmental, and she says her age gives her perspective she can share with clients.
She understands how painful early struggles can feel because she has worked through similar challenges herself. June listens first and then offers gentle challenges when needed. She emphasizes learning practical skills that come from life experience as well as from clinical work.
June uses a mix of approaches to match what feels comfortable for each person. She believes behaviors often aim to meet a positive need, even when they stop working, and she helps people discover alternatives that serve the same purpose more effectively. Sessions combine conversation, skill teaching, and real-world practice.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, career stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, bipolar and ADHD. She also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, divorce, and family of origin problems.
June practices in Arizona and holds licensure there as LCPC and LPC. She works in English and does not take international clients. People who prefer a therapist with long-term life experience and a practical style may find her approach a good fit.
Approaches to Try in Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotional responses in relationships and personal difficulties so they can feel more connected to their own needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. This process can change over time as needs evolve, and June tailors techniques to what feels most helpful for the client.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by avoiding travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule, or for sessions without a video connection if bandwidth or camera time is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and arranged.
