   About Angelique

   Angelique Fontaine is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland. She uses clear, approachable conversation to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the effect of past trauma. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest reflection to help people move forward.

   She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are unsure about change or want to build motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills for anxiety, mood shifts, and ADHD symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is included for processing trauma and post-traumatic stress when that is a focal concern.

   Angelique has four years of clinical experience and trained at Simmons University, where she earned a Master of Social Work. Her background includes work with people affected by domestic violence, attachment and abandonment issues, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also supports those facing addictions, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and women’s issues.

   Her style is described in simple terms: empathetic, trauma-informed, and respectful. She aims to make space for people to talk through their feelings and set realistic goals. Sessions typically combine listening with tools people can use between meetings.

2. How online therapy uses approaches like Motivational Interviewing and EMDR

   Angelique commonly integrates Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing involves open conversation that helps people clarify what they want and find their own reasons to change, which is useful for addictions, habit change, or feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it helps people try small behavior changes and test new ways of thinking for anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related challenges.
   
   She also uses EMDR when trauma processing is part of the work. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories so they interfere less with daily life. When EMDR is appropriate, it becomes part of a plan agreed on together rather than a single fixed method.
   
   Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they decide whether to use Motivational Interviewing, CBT, EMDR, or a different approach and adjust that plan as work progresses.
   
   For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and trauma work to an online setting so clients can continue progress while managing everyday responsibilities.
