About Juanita J Smith Whittington

Juanita J Smith Whittington is an African American Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through life transitions and emotional challenges. She creates a warm, respectful therapeutic space where clients can explore patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns, and she partners with them to build practical strategies for growth and resilience.

Her clinical work centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), an approach that links thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to help identify and change unhelpful patterns. She also integrates mindfulness-based techniques to increase self-awareness and foster greater acceptance of present-moment experience. Together these methods aim to give clients concrete tools for coping with day-to-day stressors and longer-term change.

Juanita has extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and she addresses a broad range of issues including relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. She also focuses on women’s issues, financial stress, forgiveness, and strengthening self-love and self-esteem. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical skill-building, and creating an inviting environment where clients can pursue meaningful, sustainable change.
