About June
June Keniston is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (ME LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the fallout from life changes and losses. June also addresses sleep problems, parenting strain, addictions, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods. Sessions look at what keeps someone stuck and build concrete steps toward change. June draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and test new responses in daily life.
Her background includes work with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and cancer-related challenges. She pays attention to how health problems, pain, or long-term conditions affect mood and routine. That practical focus shapes the way she plans sessions and goals.
June combines client-centered listening with skills-based work. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to add tools for emotion regulation, focus, and motivation. Sessions move between talking, skill practice, and planning small experiments to try between meetings.
People meet with her to sort out immediate problems and to make stepwise changes over time. She asks clear questions, sets small goals, and reviews progress each session. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How Cognitive Behavioral and Skills-Based Approaches Translate Online
June commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns and change unhelpful reactions. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - noticing thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and adjusting behavior based on what works. She also blends client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s concerns and pace, offering space for problems to be named and organized.Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness are used to add emotion regulation and attention practices. DBT-style skills teach concrete ways to manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness practices help with grounding and noticing sensations or thoughts without getting pulled into them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. June will talk through goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and aims. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and revised together.
