June OConnor, LCPC, LPC

June OConnor brings 25 years of clinical experience and life-earned perspective to her counseling practice. She returned to school later in life after overcoming personal struggles, and that journey shapes a practical, empathetic approach that values both professional training and lived experience. Clients find her perspective steady and less judgmental, the result of many years working with a wide range of challenges and transitions.

June holds LCPC and LPC credentials - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - reflecting formal training and state licensure to provide therapeutic services. She listens attentively, offers tools learned over decades, and adapts techniques to each person’s comfort and needs. June believes that most behaviors serve a positive intention even when they no longer help, and she focuses on teaching alternative responses that meet the same needs more effectively.

She may challenge clients in thoughtful ways intended to promote growth while keeping the process collaborative and respectful. Her methods draw from several evidence-informed approaches and are chosen with client preference in mind. June divides her time between Montana in summer and Arizona the rest of the year, and she is licensed to work with people in both states and no other states.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with June OConnor

June uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's perspective guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and tailoring sessions to individual goals, which can help with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent component of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping difficulties.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central to a client's concerns. This approach helps people name and shift emotional patterns that affect intimacy, communication, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. June adapts techniques as the work progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy with June is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, travel, and varying comfort levels. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, making consistent care more accessible while preserving the therapeutic relationship.
