Juanita Gamache, LCMHC, LPC

Juanita Gamache offers support for people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver stress, and the challenges of aging and geriatric issues. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where someone can talk through hard feelings and get practical options for next steps. Juanita aims to help people feel understood as they begin to move forward.

Juanita brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, and a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, licensed in Tennessee and Utah. Her approach blends several psychotherapy styles so conversations stay focused and useful.

In sessions she uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful actions. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how early patterns affect current struggles. She also draws on client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need emotional validation and practical coping techniques.

Juanita often frames therapy as teamwork. She offers practical skills, reflective listening, and gentle challenge so clients can test new ways of coping. She supports people navigating life transitions, parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, and codependency issues.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages small steps toward goals and integrates a person’s faith when that is part of their story. To begin, visitors are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Juanita uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy together with client-centered listening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juanita treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and life circumstances change.

The original biography describes connecting by video or phone as a way to meet. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from different locations. Many people find that virtual sessions still allow meaningful conversation, skills practice, and steady progress toward goals.
