About Juanita

Juanita Chism Doss helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and the fallout of trauma and loss. She also works with concerns around parenting, family tension, relationship problems, substance use, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and coping with life changes. Juanita is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience and practices in Tennessee.

Her style is straightforward and steady. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps people can use between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps clients set small goals they can try out in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool in her work. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to see what helps.

Clients often leave sessions with simple, doable actions to change patterns that keep them stuck. Juanita aims to make therapy feel useful rather than overwhelming. She helps clients break problems into clear parts and build skills slowly.

The approach suits people who want a mix of emotional support and concrete strategies. Outside of direct sessions she draws on many years of practice to tailor the pace and focus for each person. She values respect, patience, and real-world solutions that fit a person's life and responsibilities.

How Juanita uses CBT online and why it helps

Juanita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to see what works better. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on skills and small experiments to change what keeps someone stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Juanita will work with each person to decide whether CBT or another focus fits their needs and goals. She adjusts the pace and techniques based on what someone prefers and what shows results over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or support into a busy day. These options let people access consistent care without long commutes and help therapy fit into real life routines.
