About Angelique
Angelique Fontaine is an MD and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland who blends evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, trauma-aware stance.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR among other approaches to help people address anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and related concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy, and grief. Her practice emphasizes practical skills alongside exploration of underlying patterns that contribute to distress.
With four years of clinical experience, Angelique uses motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic ideas as complements to skill-based work when appropriate. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person’s dignity and readiness for change, and she attends to additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment concerns, domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.
Sessions can include structured strategies for coping and problem solving as well as space for processing difficult experiences. Angelique welcomes clients who prefer an empathic, trauma-informed clinician and offers a range of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.
She approaches each case individually, helping clients identify goals and practical steps toward greater resilience and well-being.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online
Angelique frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is needed; EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories through a structured protocol that supports adaptive information processing. Motivational interviewing is another tool she draws on to help clients clarify ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, particularly in issues like addiction or behavioral shifts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, adjusting methods as the work unfolds so therapy matches individual needs rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with Angelique is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life events intervene, and choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable for the client.
