Angelique Fontaine

Angelique Fontaine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people cope with life changes. She draws on clear, goal-focused techniques to address worries about anxiety, stress, depression, and other life disruptions. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps easier for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

She earned a Master of Social Work at Simmons University in Boston and has four years of clinical experience. That background includes working with people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and grief, as well as those facing challenges with self-esteem, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related struggles.

Angelique uses several therapeutic approaches in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used with trauma work to reduce the intensity of painful memories. Motivational Interviewing and narrative and psychodynamic perspectives inform how she helps people make meaning of their experiences and build motivation for change.

Her counseling approach is trauma-informed and empathetic. She treats people with respect and aims to create a calm, focused space for problem solving. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Approaches that translate to online support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. It tends to be practical and skills-based, so clients often take away steps to use between sessions.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used with trauma where the therapist helps reduce the hold of painful memories so they feel less overwhelming. It can be helpful for people processing past abuse, post-traumatic stress, or intense trauma reactions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change and build confidence for next steps. It pairs well with skill-based work when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a change.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches based on what a person needs, their goals, and what feels comfortable. Sessions often combine methods over time rather than relying on a single label.

Confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through life changes without resetting progress, but session arrangements should be clarified when scheduling.
