JT Portrait of June Thompson

June Thompson, LMFT

Calm, practical therapy for life’s hard moments

About June

June Thompson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of clinical work. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and questions about identity or intimacy.

Background and approach

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative, with a focus on making sense of patterns that keep people stuck. She combines structured tools with open conversation.

That might mean practical homework some weeks and gentler, client-led sessions in others. June pays attention to how shame, perfectionism, and past hurt shape daily choices and relationships.

Her background includes two master’s degrees, one in Marriage and Family Therapy and another focused on research in human and environmental geography. Over the years she has worked with people dealing with eating and food-related issues, mood disorders, grief, and life transitions.

She has also supported people with military service backgrounds and those exploring non-traditional relationship arrangements. June often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change.

She describes herself as analytical and practical, and she brings that clarity into sessions so goals feel manageable. Outside of work she enjoys hiking and backpacking, and she sometimes draws on that outdoor perspective when talking about pacing and endurance in change.

The practice in California emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide the path together.

Online approaches that fit your life

June often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on practical steps and simple experiments to test beliefs and reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational interviewing is another approach she uses to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum one step at a time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. June treats this as a collaboration - she listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests options and adjusts as you go. Clients and therapist decide which tools feel most useful and change the plan if something isn’t working.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy or shifting schedules. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling daily life.
