Tina Fountain, LCSW

Tina Fountain is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and addiction. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and attention-deficit issues. Tina writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her approach centers on building a respectful, honest relationship from the first meeting. She describes her style as client-centered and eclectic, which means she draws from several methods and tailors them to each person. Sessions emphasize listening, clear goals, and skills people can practice between meetings.

Over 18 years Tina has worked in many settings, including community behavioral health, a university counseling center, workplace programs, and independent practice. That background informs a flexible way of responding to different life stresses and crises. She has provided trauma response counseling after community tragedies and offered short-term therapy through Employee Assistance Programs.

In sessions she commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, attachment-focused ideas, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build steady coping skills.

Tina aims to help clients recognize strengths, face hard problems, and move toward the life they want. The work is collaborative and practical, with attention to immediate concerns and longer term goals.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking steps that match what matters to you. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about relationships and life direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns with caregivers affect current relationships. It can help people understand trust, closeness, abandonment fears, and commitment issues in romantic and family connections.

Finding the right approach often takes a few conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, symptoms, and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from wherever they are located within the supported region. Licensed professionals can use the methods above in remote sessions to teach skills, review homework, and practice communication strategies for relationships and stress management.
