About June

June OConnor is an LCPC and LPC with 25 years of clinical experience. She practices in Arizona and brings life experience to her work, having returned to school later in life after overcoming her own struggles. June focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, among other areas.

June describes herself as someone who has faced many of the feelings clients bring to therapy. She uses that perspective to teach skills she says are learned with age. Newer behaviors are introduced when old patterns no longer serve their original purpose. Sessions tend to involve talk, reflection, and practice of alternative responses to familiar problems.

Her approach draws from several therapeutic methods. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements from emotionally-focused work. June also uses EMDR and mindfulness strategies when appropriate to address intense memories or persistent emotional patterns.

June says she may challenge clients in session while aiming to keep the process measured and steady. She emphasizes effort and practical skill-building rather than labels or judgment. The focus is on recognizing why behaviors developed and trying more effective ways to meet the same needs.

She lives part of the year in Montana and the rest in Arizona and holds licensure that lets her work with people from those two states. Sessions are conducted in English and she draws on a broad range of clinical experience accumulated over many years.

How her approaches translate to online work

June frequently draws on client-centered work, CBT, and elements of EMDR or mindfulness in session. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what clients say so they can notice patterns and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. EMDR involves guided attention to help process stuck or intense memories when those memories are part of a client’s ongoing difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. She will talk through goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to each person’s needs and to what feels manageable in the moment.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy days and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm current session formats before booking since her profile does not list explicit online delivery options. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity between appointments and to use brief check-ins when schedules are tight.
