June OConnor , LCPC, LPC

June OConnor brings decades of life experience and professional training to her therapeutic work, offering steady guidance to people navigating stress, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, mood disorders and major life shifts. She returned to school later in life after working through her own challenges, and that lived perspective informs a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach she has refined over 25 years of practice. June believes difficult feelings often point to understandable intentions behind behavior, and she helps clients discover new patterns that serve those same intentions in healthier ways.

Her style blends active listening with gentle challenge; she says it is normal to feel uncomfortable at first, and she will push for growth while keeping the pace aligned with each person’s readiness. June uses a range of techniques chosen to fit a client’s comfort and goals, and she is committed to teaching practical skills clients can use outside sessions. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - reflecting advanced training and authorization to provide clinical counseling.

June divides her time between Montana in the summer and Arizona for the rest of the year, and she is licensed to work with people in both states. She focuses on building collaborative relationships, working hard for her clients, and helping them move toward clearer self-esteem, improved relationships, and better coping with life’s transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

June uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals and experiences guide the work - this approach focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and supporting their strengths, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia by changing unhelpful thoughts and building new skills.

For trauma-related concerns she integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate, a targeted method aimed at reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; June treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision and tailors techniques to a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will help explore options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with June is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distances and help clients maintain momentum between appointments.
