June Thompson, LMFT

June Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and questions about intimacy or identity. She uses clear, practical steps to help people feel more steady and make decisions that fit their values.

June takes a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients see patterns that keep them stuck. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify what matters most and to strengthen motivation for change.

Her background includes extensive clinical work and supervisory roles across a range of concerns. She has helped people manage shame, perfectionism, eating-related difficulties, and the stress that comes with life transitions. Her work with veterans, college students, and parents gives her practical insight into varied life stages and pressures.

June blends structured work with room for personal pace. Sessions may include short exercises, clear homework, or open conversation depending on what each person needs. She values plain language and aims to make therapy feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Based in California, June combines an analytical stance with a down-to-earth manner. Outside of work she enjoys hiking and backpacking, activities that inform her calm, observational approach in therapy.

How her approaches work in online therapy

June uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors. In short exercises she helps clients test those thoughts and try new responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people sort out their values and strengthen motivation for change. This approach is conversational and goal-focused, useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. June treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your needs and pace. Together you can choose when to use structured tasks, reflective conversation, or brief experiments between sessions.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These options let people keep therapy consistent around busy lives and changing schedules.
