About Juanita
Juanita Gamache is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience in Tennessee. She works with people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, stress, and the pressures of career and life transitions. Juanita also lists support for LGBT issues, family concerns, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, building coping skills, and identifying options that fit day-to-day life. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide the work.
Juanita often helps people notice patterns in relationships and behavior. She pays attention to attachment and how past losses, adoption or family dynamics affect present choices. For someone feeling stuck after a breakup, career change, or loss, she offers concrete steps and communication strategies.
Her practice also addresses substance use and codependency alongside practical recovery planning. She will help a client examine triggers, set boundaries, and develop routines that support steadier days. Juanita names caregiver stress, blended family issues, and aging or geriatric concerns among her focus areas.
Sessions are offered in English and are located in Tennessee. Her profile notes a mix of video and phone contact as possible ways she connects, and prospective clients are asked to follow the site's procedure to view online therapy options and schedule a first session.
How Juanita’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed in early life and how they show up now, supporting work on intimacy, communication, and family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juanita will collaborate with a client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. The process is framed as a shared effort to identify useful steps, skills, and perspectives rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The profile notes video and phone contact as ways she connects, so confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only when they prefer, or arrange sessions around school and work hours. Confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site before your first appointment.
