Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and questions about life purpose. Hearing-impaired clients are noted as a focus area. Her style mixes emotion-focused work with behavioral tools.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and move toward it. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve connection. Sessions aim to teach skills people can use between meetings.

Expect to practice communication techniques, grounding strategies for panic, and ways to grieve or forgive when you’re ready. June emphasizes small, manageable steps and clear goals. June describes the therapeutic space as warm and culturally responsive.

She works with individual adults who want help navigating life changes and rebuilding stability. Her approach balances empathy with practical guidance to help clients regain a sense of control.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when anxiety or fear shows up. This approach is useful for stress, panic, and life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than perfect control.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships. In short sessions it can help people identify attachment needs and shift patterns that keep them stuck, which is helpful for relationship strain and grief.

The Gottman Method offers concrete tools for improving communication and managing conflict. It provides simple exercises to practice between sessions and can be used to reduce reactive patterns and rebuild connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.

Online therapy allows for flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and emotional work, phone can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life.
