About Angelique
Angelique Fontaine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) in Maryland with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, and concerns like self-esteem and parenting. She also supports those coping with relationship issues, grief, intimacy problems, eating concerns, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR among other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Sessions are practical and focused on small, achievable steps. Angelique also draws on motivational interviewing, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the problem.
In a session she talks through what feels most urgent and helps set clear goals. She may work on recognizing thought patterns, practicing different responses, and building coping skills. For trauma-related concerns she can use methods aimed at processing distressing memories.
Her training is social work based, and she holds the LCSW-C credential in Maryland. Her style centers on direct, structured work rather than vague strategies. She explains tools simply and shows how to use them in day-to-day life.
People who choose her tend to be looking for concrete techniques for anxiety, trauma recovery, addiction questions, or parenting strain. She encourages realistic, step-by-step progress and checks in on what is working as therapy continues.
How Angelique uses CBT, EMDR, and motivational interviewing online
Angelique commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear steps - identifying a thought, testing it, and practicing an alternative response to break a cycle of worry or avoidance.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related memories. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce the intensity of their emotional charge. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change, such as with substance use or lifestyle shifts; it helps clarify values and increase readiness to act.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and agree on practical methods together. That collaborative planning can include trying CBT exercises first, adding EMDR for trauma processing, or using motivational interviewing around readiness.
