About June
June Keniston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings a calm, person-centered approach to therapy. She uses a strengths-based, humanistic style to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, grief, mood shifts, or life changes. June focuses on practical steps and steady support so clients can find clearer footing during hard times.
She frames work together as a collaborative process. June listens to what is happening now and helps identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Then she and the client build small, doable steps toward more manageable days. This plain, steady way of working is meant to reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control.
June has 12 years of experience as an LCPC in Maine and has long worked with people managing chronic, invisible illnesses such as Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression. That background informs how she approaches physical health alongside emotional concerns. Sleep and rest issues are part of the concerns she addresses in sessions.
Her toolkit draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She may use cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness strategies to calm the nervous system, or motivational methods to support change. The aim is always practical - clearer routines, better coping, and gentler self-care.
June invites people to talk through immediate problems and longer-term goals. She helps craft plans that fit daily life and feels comfortable adjusting pace based on what the client needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
June often blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, creating space to name goals and priorities. CBT involves practical tools for shifting thought patterns and building routines, which can help with sleep, mood, and daily functioning.She also uses mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to reduce stress and improve rest. Mindfulness work focuses on short exercises to calm the body and bring attention back to the present, useful for anxiety, sleep disruption, and coping with chronic illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. June will discuss these methods and adjust them based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions about pacing, homework, and which techniques to try are made collaboratively so the work fits real life.
If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing CBT tools and mindfulness exercises from daily life more convenient.
