June Thompson , LMFT

June Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on women's issues alongside a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, grief, and addictions. June aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.

She uses clear, collaborative work in sessions. June helps clients spot patterns that keep problems repeating and then tries manageable changes together. She balances structured suggestions and optional homework with space for clients to lead the conversation.

June brings both depth and curiosity to her practice. Her background includes two master’s degrees, one in Marriage and Family Therapy and another centered on research in Human and Environmental Geography. That mix informs a thoughtful, analytical style that values evidence and real-world results.

Her work often addresses issues linked to shame, perfectionism, and disordered eating, and she has experience supporting military veterans, college students, and parents. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and helps them make sense of those stories so they can try different ways forward.

In session, June aims to build a steady, problem-solving rhythm. She will help identify small, practical steps a person can try between meetings. The approach is collaborative, patient, and geared toward everyday change rather than quick fixes.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In simple terms, sessions look at unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical ways to test and change them. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

Motivational Interviewing is a goal-focused, gentle method that helps people find their own reasons to change. The therapist asks open questions, reflects what is said, and helps build internal motivation for things like breaking patterns, addressing addictions, or making lifestyle shifts.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. June will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using CBT tools one week and motivational interviewing techniques the next, or combining both over time.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or choose shorter, flexible ways to communicate. These options help people keep therapy consistent despite busy schedules or travel.
