Juanita Chism Doss, LCSW

Juanita Chism Doss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practising in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship problems, and anger. Her background includes long-term clinical work across varied settings and a focus on practical help for everyday problems.

She uses straightforward, skill-based techniques to help people manage distress and improve daily functioning. Sessions often include looking at thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and building coping strategies that fit a client's life. The emphasis is on clear steps a person can try between sessions.

Juanita frames therapy as a collaboration. She listens to what is most pressing and then outlines options the person can try. That might mean short-term work on a specific issue or longer work to address recurring patterns that cause frustration or conflict.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, so clients can expect practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She aims to teach skills for managing mood shifts, reducing tension, and handling anger without promising quick fixes.

People seeking help for parenting stress or family tension will find her willing to talk through concrete strategies for communication and boundary setting. She also brings experience helping people with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related stress when these affect day-to-day life.

Language of practice is English and sessions are provided in Tennessee. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking a first appointment.
