Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos , LCSW, LSCSW

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kansas with 15 years of experience. She supports people facing relationship strain, career shifts, and the stress of life changes. Her practice often addresses concerns tied to women's issues and sexuality while focusing on practical steps people can use day to day.

Gigi uses straightforward, collaborative work in session. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable goals. Conversations may address communication problems, attachment issues, or workplace stress depending on each person's situation.

Trauma and grief are handled with care and attention to pacing. She helps people process past abuse, sexual assault, or losses while building skills to manage anxiety, anger, and addictive patterns. Motivational strategies support changes like reducing risky behavior or pursuing a new career direction.

Clients concerned about parenting, adoption and foster care, or family conflict can expect practical tools for clearer communication and repair. Sessions also cover midlife questions, life purpose, and compassion fatigue for those juggling caregiving or demanding jobs.

Gigi combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work. This mix aims to create concrete coping strategies and clearer choices. She frames therapy as a partnership where real-life changes are the shared goal.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress that can be practiced between sessions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and building motivation at their pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time based on how the person responds and what life demands emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when visual connection matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
