About Angelique

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate relationship tensions, career transitions, family challenges, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She practices from a collaborative, client-centered stance that encourages self-exploration while attending to practical tools for coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues related to trauma and abuse. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and recovery from sexual assault and domestic violence.

Gigi blends evidence-informed strategies like cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational interviewing with narrative and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. She often supports clients seeking clarity around life purpose, workplace problems, communication breakdowns, or sexuality and women’s issues.

Based in Kansas and licensed as LCSW and LSCSW (CA LCSW 27861, KS LSCSW 05780), she also accepts international clients and provides a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online approaches that combine skills and story

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building an empathic partnership where feelings and goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone wants space to explore identity, relationships, or life purpose while being heard and supported.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and practicing concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. It often pairs well with solution-focused techniques that target specific changes and motivational interviewing that supports readiness for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what is helpful and what fits the client’s preferences and needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or clients living outside the therapist’s immediate area. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, use brief check-ins between sessions, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals.
