June OConnor , LCPC, LPC

June OConnor brings decades of lived experience and clinical practice to her work, offering calm, steady guidance to people facing stress, loss, relationship struggles, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. She returned to school later in life after working through personal challenges and built a counseling practice informed by both personal recovery and many years of skillful practice. June emphasizes empathy over judgment and uses a blend of techniques tailored to each person’s comfort and goals.

She believes behaviors often arise from positive intentions that no longer serve a person, and she teaches new, more effective ways to meet those same needs. June may gently challenge clients when it supports growth, and she balances that directness with careful listening and a commitment to client safety. Her approach draws on client-centered principles and evidence-based methods to address anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, sleep concerns, parenting, career stress, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and other areas of life change.

June holds LCPC and LPC credentials - LCPC stands for licensed clinical professional counselor and LPC stands for licensed professional counselor - reflecting advanced training and licensure to provide counseling services. She splits her time between Montana in the summer and Arizona the rest of the year, and she is licensed to work with people in both of those states and no other states. June works hard on behalf of her clients and aims to share practical skills that can be learned with experience and applied in everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with June OConnor

June uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person's experiences and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building self-directed growth, which can help with low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. CBT offers concrete strategies for changing behaviors and improving daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) informs her work with couples and families by helping partners access and express underlying emotions and reshape patterns of interaction that create disconnection. EFT is useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. June works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and in how people choose to engage with a licensed professional, while preserving the ability to work on meaningful change over time.
