About June
June Keniston is a Maine LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and issues around parenting and family of origin, including guilt and shame.
June uses a person-centered way of working that focuses on each individual's strengths. She aims to help people notice what keeps them stuck and build practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday life rather than jargon.
Her background includes long experience supporting people with chronic invisible illnesses and the ripple effects those conditions bring. She also sees people coping with career strain, caregiver stress, midlife questions, and mood disorders.
June draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety or low mood. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and Mindfulness practices to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when people are weighing change or feeling uncertain about next steps. The focus is practical: small experiments, clearer choices, and skills that can be used between sessions.
She prefers straightforward conversation about goals, setbacks, and what helps day to day. People who come with heavy guilt or shame will find a clinician who listens for the facts, the feelings, and realistic ways to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and values. In practice this means conversations that focus on what matters to the individual, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying rather than directing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT often includes setting small experiments or homework to test new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving tolerance for distress; it can be useful when shame, anger, or overwhelm make daily life harder.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they bring. That choice can shift over time as progress and setbacks become clear.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when time is limited, and makes regular practice easier by removing travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your schedule and whether skills practice, behavioral experiments, or motivational conversations should be the focus.
