About Tina
Tina Fountain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, anger, substance concerns, grief, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions may include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness tools to calm the body, and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation. Attachment-based ideas also guide work on relationship patterns and trust.
Her background includes work in community behavioral health, a university counseling center, workplace settings, and private practice. She has provided trauma response counseling after large-scale events and has experience with crisis and disruptive event management. Tina also has experience offering short-term therapy within Employee Assistance Programs.
In session she aims to build straightforward rapport and start from the client’s current situation. Conversations tend to focus on concrete goals, behavior changes, and skills that can be tried between meetings. Progress is tracked through practical tasks and regular check-ins.
Tina earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her practice blends evidence-based methods with person-centered listening to help clients address specific problems and develop coping strategies they can use in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tina commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helping clients manage anger and related issues. ACT helps people notice unhelpful rules and focus on meaningful actions despite uncomfortable feelings. CBT teaches practical steps to spot and change thinking patterns that fuel anger and reactivity.She treats online work as a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client and which methods fit their goals. Together the client and therapist test techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, virtual sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, provide a quieter setting when needed, or allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. The emphasis is on choosing a way of meeting that makes regular practice and skill-building possible in everyday life.
