About Tina
Tina Fountain is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, addictions, parenting pressures, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach
Tina has also provided trauma response support after a mass-shooting event in Virginia Beach and has offered short-term care through employee assistance programs. Tina describes her style as client-centered and authentic. She aims to build a straightforward relationship based on empathy and respect.
Sessions focus on starting where a person is and setting realistic goals together. She uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. Common tools include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, acceptance and commitment ideas for values-based action, attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Therapy often includes skill-building, practical exercises, and gentle exploration of past experiences that shape current problems. Tina helps people identify coping strategies, reduce symptoms that interfere with life, and make step-by-step changes toward their goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for panic, mood disorders, and many everyday struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness issues and can be helpful for intimacy, commitment, and relationship concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Tina treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will help figure out what fits each person's goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can help with quick skill prompts, brief updates, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
