About Juanita
Juanita Gamache is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She works with adults facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, parenting stress, grief, and other family-related concerns. Juanita also addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is direct and practical. She listens without judgment and helps people name the problems they bring. Sessions focus on identifying options and building skills that fit daily life. She encourages people to notice what matters and take small steps toward change.
Juanita draws from several therapy models. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. She employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationship and family patterns.
People can expect a conversational tone rather than a lecture. She offers guidance, tools, and chances to practice new responses between meetings. Work often includes skill-building from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Her practice also attends to specific family and caregiving stresses such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver strain, and family-of-origin patterns. She explains options, helps people weigh choices, and supports practical problem solving.
To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. Online work can include exercises to notice thoughts, choose actions, and set simple at-home practice tasks that reinforce those choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior. In virtual sessions this often means reviewing recent situations, practicing different responses, and planning short behavioral experiments to try between meetings.
She also uses Attachment-Based ideas when patterns from early relationships affect current connections. Online conversations can map those patterns, link them to present-day reactions, and rehearse new ways of relating during everyday interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and style. That may mean mixing techniques across ACT, CBT, attachment work, DBT skills, or client-centered listening until a good fit is found.
The bio mentions video and phone connection as ways she meets people, though you should confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by removing commute time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or letting people meet without being on camera. These practical benefits help therapy slot into everyday life while focusing on the issues that matter at home.
