About Juanita

Juanita Chism Doss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, relationship problems, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes using approaches she describes in her own practice.

Juanita focuses on practical problem solving in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Sessions aim to produce clear steps clients can try between meetings.

Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She listens to what a person is struggling with and then suggests approaches that fit the person's goals. She describes therapy as work done together rather than something done to the client.

Her background spans community and clinical settings over two decades. That experience informs how she talks about mood disorders and family stress. She draws on that history to help people create short-term coping plans and long-term behavior changes.

In sessions Juanita addresses parenting and family dynamics by helping individuals manage conflict and set practical boundaries. For grief and loss she supports exercises that help people process change and re-establish routines.

People who contact her can expect clear explanations of methods, suggestions for practice between sessions, and a focus on measurable steps. She works in English and sees clients in Tennessee under her Tennessee LCSW credential.

Cognitive Behavioral tools for remote work

CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. It uses short exercises and homework to change reactions to stress, anxiety, depression, and mood swings. This approach clarifies specific behaviors to practice between sessions and measures progress over time.

Juanita treats finding the right approach as a collaboration. She will talk through goals and preferences and suggest whether CBT or another strategy fits best. The plan can change as needs and responses become clearer during treatment.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. They can also accommodate shorter meetings or audio-only check-ins when a full video session is not practical. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt homework and tracking tools to work well at a distance.
