About June
June Keniston is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maine with 12 years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and life issues. Her style is warm and practical, and she aims to help people find steady ways forward when life feels overwhelming.
She uses a person-centered way of working that starts with what matters to the individual. Sessions focus on identifying what keeps someone stuck and on small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
June draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help shift unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and stress. Many people come to her with anxiety, depression, grief, or struggling through major life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Parenting concerns are an identified focus and she helps parents think through practical strategies and coping tools. June often blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people connect with their values and commit to changes that matter. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space for emotion and reflection.
The work is collaborative - the client and therapist set priorities together. She offers therapy in English and provides online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Practical approaches you can use online
June often draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and supported. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete tools to change them, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers step-by-step strategies for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and coping with crises, which many clients find useful when life feels chaotic. Choosing an approach is a shared process - the therapist will help assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the client.r>
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent exchanges to stay on track. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy parenting life.
