June OConnor, LCPC, LPC

June OConnor is a licensed counselor with more than 25 years of experience. She speaks plainly and draws on life experience to help people moving through big shifts. She says she understands the awkward first steps into therapy and aims to be direct without being judgmental.

June returned to school later in life after working through her own struggles with self-esteem and difficult transitions. She combines those lived lessons with long clinical experience to offer practical guidance. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, including challenges tied to relationships and family history.

In sessions she uses a mix of methods chosen to match the person in front of her. June explains that behaviors usually have a helpful intention and that therapy can teach new ways to meet the same needs. She may offer challenges when useful, but prefers a steady, respectful tone.

June lists several clinical approaches she uses, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness Therapy. She asks people to expect practical skills practice alongside emotional processing.

She practices in Arizona and works in English. If you want to explore midlife changes, recovery from loss, substance concerns, or relationship and family-of-origin issues, she frames her work around clear goals and steady support.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship and listening. The therapist follows the person's lead, offers empathy, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions in order to shift how they respond in important relationships. It can be useful for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that work when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness, CBT worksheets, and emotion-focused tasks for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
