About June
June Keniston is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She brings a steady, person-focused style to sessions and aims to help people work through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. June uses Narrative and client-centered approaches to listen to each person’s story.
She helps clients name what keeps them stuck and find practical steps to move forward. Sessions are grounded in everyday language and clear goals rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She has 12 years of experience as an LCPC and draws on many years in mental health work overall. That background informs how she supports people coping with chronic illness, pain, and overlapping health and mood concerns. June also addresses issues like career change, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and caregiver stress.
She pays attention to life-stage concerns such as midlife transitions, aging and geriatric issues, and feelings of emptiness or loss of purpose. In meetings she offers practical techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches when they fit a person’s needs. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
The aim is to build realistic tools and a clear plan toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
June often blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral tools to help people reframe their life stories and try new behaviors. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral techniques offer straightforward strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss possible methods, and together decide what feels like the best fit. That means plans can change as needs shift and progress is reviewed over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you work visually and practice techniques together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, follow-up notes, and flexible scheduling during the week. These options aim to make consistent work on goals more accessible and easier to maintain.
