About Juanita

Juanita Chism Doss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and life challenges. She focuses on a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar and other mood disorders, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and relationship and family dynamics. Her work also supports parenting challenges and coping with life changes.

Drawing on decades of experience with diverse populations, she combines clinical expertise with a compassionate, nuanced manner. Juanita creates a person-centered space where clients can explore emotions, identify patterns, and develop practical coping strategies. Her use of evidence-informed tools is balanced with attention to each personâs individual strengths and circumstances.

Juanita often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based approach - into collaborative treatment plans that aim to reduce distress and build resilience. She meets clients where they are and tailors guidance to match their goals and stage of life.

Committed to respectful, empathetic care, Juanita supports meaningful personal growth through steady, goal-oriented work that honors each clientâs experience and capacity for change.

CBT and Person-Centered Care for Online Support

Juanita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach in online sessions. CBT helps clients identify connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also employs a person-centered, collaborative stance that emphasizes listening, respect, and tailoring goals to each individualâs needs - this approach is especially useful for family dynamics, relationship work, grief, and transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Juanita works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. As a licensed professional she guides that decision-making and adapts methods over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, connect by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format better fits their schedule. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access therapeutic support from different locations while working with a licensed therapist who tailors care to each person.
