About Juanita
Juanita Gamache is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Tennessee with 22 years of experience. She supports people coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also lists codependency among her areas of focus.
She uses several approaches to therapy and keeps sessions focused on practical steps. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful patterns, trying new ways of reacting, and practicing small skills between meetings. The work can involve looking at how early attachments shaped current relationships and learning ways to notice and shift automatic thoughts and behaviors.
Juanita describes a straightforward style. She listens without judgment and offers options for responding to hard situations. Sessions move at a realistic pace and emphasize skills people can use outside of therapy.
Her toolkit includes acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, attachment-based perspectives, and a client-centered stance. These methods are used to address things like setting boundaries, coping with strong emotions, and reducing patterns that keep someone stuck.
People are encouraged to bring what matters to them, including faith when relevant. The first step is a brief matching process and then scheduling a session to begin practical work together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Juanita uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase purposeful behavior. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people identify and change recurring interaction styles.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust the plan as needed rather than imposing a single technique.
The original biography refers to connecting by video or phone, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Video can support face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is preferred. Ask about the specific session formats offered and how they fit your routine before scheduling.
