Tina Fountain

Tina Fountain is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She brings 18 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to build a practical, respectful therapeutic relationship from the start.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She starts by listening to what matters most and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include skills practice, mindful awareness, and talk that connects past patterns to present choices.

Tina blends several evidence-informed methods rather than following one fixed model. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Attachment-based concepts inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional safety.

She has worked across community behavioral health, university counseling, workplace programs, and private practice. That range has shaped how she offers short-term focused work as well as deeper, longer-term therapy when it fits a person’s needs.

Tina is practical and warm in session. She helps people facing parenting stress, trauma and abuse recovery, addiction concerns, intimacy problems, career strain, ADHD-related struggles, and other life changes. Her goal is to help clients name what’s getting in the way and learn tools to move forward.

How her approaches fit with online work

Tina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood concerns because it breaks problems into concrete patterns to change.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when painful thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can help with grief, life transitions, and chronic stress by shifting what people pay attention to and how they respond.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as work unfolds, with regular check-ins about what is helping.

Please confirm available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work useful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, saving travel time, and making shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. Others appreciate how skills practice and mindfulness exercises translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can help decide how to use session time effectively based on what a person needs.
