About Juanita

Juanita Gamache is a licensed counselor who helps people facing codependency, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what feels overwhelming. Her style emphasizes practical steps you can use between sessions and steady emotional support in the room.

With 22 years of experience, Juanita draws on several well-known psychotherapy approaches. She mixes acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools and attachment-focused work. This means sessions may include noticing thoughts, trying new behaviors, and looking at how early bonds shape current patterns.

People often come for help with grief, trauma, family and parenting stress, and career pressure. She also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, control and communication problems, and substance use concerns. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to you and to build small, doable steps forward.

Sessions tend to be practical and person-centered. Juanita listens first, then offers options to try. She respects faith as a resource when clients bring it into the work.

Juanita holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, listed as LCMHC and LPC. She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them. In online sessions this can help when someone wants concrete steps to change avoidant patterns or codependent habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises and between-session practice to track progress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current reactions and safety in relationships; it can help people understand codependency and repair relational patterns in their daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist can adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed explicitly here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and make it easier to attend consistently. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or longer work when there is more to cover. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
