June Ballard, LPC

June Ballard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with six years of clinical experience. She uses a practical, problem-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. Sessions are direct and goal-oriented with an emphasis on finding workable steps forward.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach, with room for people to lead the conversation and set priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation to change behaviors like substance use or compulsive habits.

June has experience in community mental health and private practice settings. She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, mood and personality concerns, process addictions, and issues tied to work or relationships. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting stress, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions often focus on practical tools. That might mean tracking thoughts and moods, trying small behavior experiments, or setting clear short-term goals. The work is collaborative - she helps people uncover what already works for them and build on it.

June offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. She communicates in English and works with clients located in Oklahoma. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How online approaches like CBT and Motivational Interviewing work

June often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on practical tasks such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when someone is weighing a change, like reducing substance use or building healthier habits. That approach centers on the person’s own motivations and helps clarify next steps without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. June collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the plan over time based on what’s working and what isn’t.

Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief reflections or reminders. These options let people pick what matches their routine and communication style, while keeping therapy practical and focused.
