About Tina
Tina Fountain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, addiction, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, mood swings, panic, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Tina keeps things straightforward and practical in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method.
How Tina works
Sessions focus on skills people can use between appointments and on small steps that build change over time. Her 18 years of experience include work in community behavioral health, a university counseling center, workplace programs, and independent practice. Tina has provided crisis response and trauma counseling after community tragedies and has offered short-term therapy through Employee Assistance Programs.
Her background gives her familiarity with both immediate crisis work and longer-term therapy. Common tools she draws on include cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, acceptance-focused work, and attachment-informed listening. She also uses client-centered and dialectical approaches when helpful.
The goal is to reduce distress, improve relationships, and increase day-to-day coping skills. Tina aims to build a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard and respected. She helps people identify strengths and practical steps toward their goals.
If someone prefers an approach that combines skills practice with personal reflection, she adjusts to fit their needs.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current trust and closeness; it can help with intimacy issues and relationship conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is often helpful for depression, panic, and social anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn't helpful. This shared decision-making helps match techniques to the person's situation and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging is useful for short check-ins, between-session support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a varied schedule.
