About Juanita

Juanita Gamache is a licensed counselor who focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and addiction. She also helps people coping with stress, self-esteem difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Juanita brings 22 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LCMHC and LPC.

Juanita aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through fears and confusing feelings. She emphasizes being heard and understood, and she works to give practical options clients can try between sessions. Her style blends direct listening with concrete skills and gentle guidance.

Her work draws on several approaches that focus on present needs and values. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes.

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she builds trust and follows each person’s goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for managing intense emotions when stress or trauma feel overwhelming. These methods are combined to match the issue and the person.

Juanita often supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and family-of-origin wounds. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that includes the person’s values and faith when desired.

She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Juanita’s Methods Fit Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those thoughts drive every choice. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on building trust and safety in relationships and can be useful for people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that seem to fit. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let someone connect from a location with quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt ACT and attachment-focused work to an online setting, using conversation, behavioral assignments, and emotion-regulation exercises to support progress.
