Angelique Fontaine , MD, LCSW-C

Angelique Fontaine is a clinician who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland. Her work often focuses on issues many women face, including trauma, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related struggles.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new actions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing supports clients who carry painful memories and want relief from intrusive distress. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck and needs support making a change.

Angelique brings four years of clinical experience to her sessions. She has worked with people dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, and parenting stress among other concerns. Her background includes helping those who have experienced domestic violence and post-traumatic stress.

In sessions she aims to be direct and warm. She listens for patterns in relationships and everyday reactions, then helps people try different ways of coping. Treatment plans tend to be practical and tailored to each person's goals.

People can expect a collaborative style that values respect and dignity. Angelique helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust approaches as needed. She provides care in English and practices in Maryland.

Approaches that translate to online care

CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and then try new behaviors to change feelings. It works well for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by breaking issues into concrete steps. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge of painful memories through guided processing, which can ease intrusive thoughts and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings about change and strengthen commitment to new habits.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and personal preferences to decide whether CBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, or a combination is most helpful. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work for brief updates, coping tools, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity between appointments.
