About Angelique

Angelique Fontaine is a licensed clinician who blends practical therapy with a compassionate approach. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified, and she brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She speaks English and practices from Maryland.

She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, grief, addiction, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach

ADHD is one of the areas she addresses. In sessions she relies on straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when working with traumatic memories.

Other tools include motivational interviewing to build momentum for change and narrative and psychodynamic ideas to understand life stories and emotional patterns. Her style is empathetic and trauma informed. She aims to treat people with respect and dignity while helping them make concrete changes.

Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps that fit into daily life. She invites clients to discuss what matters most and to set realistic goals together. The first conversations center on immediate concerns and creating a plan that feels manageable for the person seeking help.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Angelique often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It is practical and action oriented, useful for stress, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who are working through traumatic memories. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and interfere less with daily life. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to build motivation and set realistic change goals when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then suggest a plan that can be adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer sessions and when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
