About June
June Keniston is a Maine LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 12 years of counseling experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addictions, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Keniston uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s goals central. She listens for what is keeping someone stuck and helps name practical next steps. Sessions focus on building skills and small changes that fit everyday life.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that make symptoms worse. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing can be part of sessions when people want tools for focus, managing urges, or sustaining change.
June has worked with people living with chronic health conditions such as Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, and related mood concerns. That experience informs how she balances symptom management with day-to-day functioning and caregiving demands.
Her work also addresses family of origin issues, midlife transitions, caregiver stress, and financial or career worries that weigh on relationships. The tone in sessions is straightforward and practical, with attention to realistic steps clients can try between meetings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach aim to clarify goals and priorities so each meeting has a clear focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Online CBT often includes short exercises and practical homework between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In an online setting DBT skills can be practiced, coached, and reviewed with real-life examples. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one style for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and challenges become clearer. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce time spent traveling. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily life is part of the first meeting so practical arrangements match the client's needs.Areas of focus
