About Juanita

Juanita Chism Doss is a Tennessee-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief, relationship strain, and anger. Sessions address parenting and family concerns and the practical strains of work and life changes.

She uses clear, direct conversation to help people notice patterns that make feelings worse. She teaches straightforward coping skills and ways to break cycles of reactivity. Sessions move at a practical pace, with homework or exercises when helpful.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. That experience informs a pragmatic approach to problems like addiction, bipolar mood swings, and trauma responses. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that reduce daily stress.

Clients can expect collaborative planning about goals and steps. Juanita discusses options, then tries methods that fit the person’s life and schedule. Progress is checked and strategies are adjusted as needed.

She works in English and practices in Tennessee as an LCSW. People considering therapy are encouraged to review session options before booking so they know what formats are offered.

How Juanita uses CBT and practical methods online

Juanita works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches coping techniques, and helps change patterns that keep anger and anxiety going. This approach is useful for stress, depression, mood shifts, and recurring anger responses.

The choice of approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find strategies that actually fit day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use strategies between sessions in real settings and bring those experiences back to discuss and refine.
