June Thompson , LMFT

June Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with twenty years of experience as a clinician and clinical supervisor. She holds two master’s degrees - one in Marriage and Family Therapy and another focused on research in Human and Environmental Geography - and brings both clinical training and a research-informed perspective to her work. She is also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator (CDWF), trained in Brené Brown’s research on shame and vulnerability, and she integrates that understanding into conversations about perfectionism, shame, and emotional resilience.

Throughout her career she has supported military veterans, college students, mothers and parents, and people struggling with disordered eating, depression, shame, perfectionism, and related concerns. Her practice emphasizes clarity and curiosity: she combines analytical listening with practical strategies to help people identify the patterns that may be maintaining their difficulties. June describes herself as down-to-earth and thoughtful, and she often reflects on life and human nature while hiking and backpacking.

Her clinical work is collaborative and flexible. She works alongside clients to make sense of their stories, then helps them choose steps and changes that fit their goals. She offers structured tools and homework when helpful, or allows the client to guide the pace and focus of sessions. The core of her approach is partnership - exploring, understanding, and making change together.

How June's approaches translate to online therapy

June integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, using practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck by targeting the thoughts and routines that maintain distress. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to support change by exploring and strengthening a person’s own reasons for change; it is particularly useful when motivation feels mixed or when someone is weighing difficult decisions such as addressing addictions, making relationship changes, or shifting habits.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. June works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time so the therapy fits what the client wants to achieve. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning and pacing the work.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility in scheduling and makes it easier to access support from home or on the go. These formats allow for regular check-ins, timely problem solving, and the option to use different communication styles depending on comfort and practical needs, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to address meaningful life concerns.
