Juanita Chism Doss

Juanita Chism Doss is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and other life challenges. She helps clients sort through difficult emotions and find practical ways forward. Her approach is calm and straightforward, with an emphasis on building useful skills for day-to-day life.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that reduce symptoms and improve coping. Juanita aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and replace them with more helpful habits.

Her work covers relationship strain, parenting and family concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar, addiction-related issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career stress, and adjusting to change. She meets people where they are and tailors support to each situation. The tone in sessions is respectful and practical rather than overly technical.

Over 25 years, Juanita has worked with a wide range of people and situations in Tennessee. That experience informs a steady, experienced presence in the room. She blends skill-building with real-world problem solving so clients can test new approaches between sessions.

People who choose her can expect clear explanations, doable strategies, and collaborative planning. The work is paced to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on small gains that add up over time.

How CBT and practical therapy work online

Juanita uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people learn concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by testing small changes and tracking what works.

The process is collaborative. The therapist and client choose the approach together based on the client's goals and preferences. That may mean trying skill-based exercises, tracking patterns between sessions, or adjusting how sessions are structured to match daily life needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work while managing work or family obligations. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and behavior experiments to work well in remote settings, helping clients practice new skills where they live and work.
