About Juanita
Juanita Gamache is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma, and struggles with addiction. Juanita also supports clients facing grief, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions tend to focus on real-life patterns - what people think, how they act, and what they can test between meetings.
Juanita works in a straightforward, client-centered way that emphasizes collaboration. She listens to what matters most and offers skills people can practice. That can include mindfulness exercises, tools drawn from DBT for emotional regulation, and steps to change behaviors that keep problems going.
Over two decades she has supported people with a wide range of concerns including family of origin issues, codependency, domestic violence, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and aging-related challenges. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Sessions are described as available by video or phone in her biography; confirm current session formats when booking. Juanita speaks English and practices in Tennessee. To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Juanita brings CBT and related methods to online work
Online work with Juanita draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed ideas. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. ACT emphasizes values and small committed actions to move toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current expectations and help people try new ways of relating.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest methods that match what you want to change. The first sessions are often used to identify specific patterns to work on and to pick a few practical skills to try between meetings.
Her biography mentions video and phone connections as ways to meet. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered now. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in their day-to-day settings and bring real situations into discussion without promising a specific result.
