About Juanita
Juanita Gamache is a licensed counselor who helps people facing parenting stress, relationship strain, addiction concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She draws on 22 years of experience as an LCMHC and an LPC to offer calm, practical support. Her approach centers on understanding and steady guidance rather than blame or judgment.
She focuses on clear, usable tools in sessions. That can mean learning coping skills for anxiety, practicing new communication habits, or sorting through grief and loss.
Background and approach
Juanita uses methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness exercises to help people notice unhelpful patterns and make small changes. Attachment ideas shape how she looks at close relationships and parenting challenges. Those ideas help identify long-standing patterns that affect trust and connection.
She also integrates acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients commit to values-based choices when change feels hard. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Juanita aims to listen first, reflect what she hears, and then offer options people can try between meetings.
She talks plainly and focuses on what will make a practical difference in day-to-day life. Juanita offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can fit support into busy schedules. She practices in Tennessee and works in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone with the right scheduling options.

How Juanita’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action guided by personal values. It can help with parenting stress, anxiety, and making changes that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments shape current behaviors and reactions. This perspective can be useful for people dealing with intimacy problems, family of origin issues, or parenting challenges.Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and tries different strategies to see what helps. Together you decide whether to emphasize acceptance skills, attachment work, or practical behavior changes based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets you work face to face when that matters. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum during life transitions.
