Angelique Fontaine, MD, LCSW-C

Angelique Fontaine is a Maryland-based therapist who combines clinical training with a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to support people through difficult life transitions and persistent symptoms. She holds an MD and an LCSW-C - the latter is a clinical social work license in Maryland, listed under license number 24484 - and she earned a Master of Social Work at Simmons University in Boston. With four years of professional experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, domestic violence, trauma, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, eating and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Her practice draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside other approaches tailored to each person. Her counseling style is empathetic and rooted in respect and dignity, and she approaches care with sensitivity to attachment, abandonment, and women-centered issues. Angelique emphasizes collaboration - helping people identify goals and take manageable steps toward them - and she aims to create a space that recognizes courage as a part of seeking help. She is available for work with English-speaking clients in Maryland and looks forward to partnering with those ready to pursue change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angelique Fontaine integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside conversational, change-focused techniques to address a variety of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method designed to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their emotional impact, commonly used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring values and strengthening internal motivation, which can be especially helpful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angelique works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients explore options and adjust strategies as progress unfolds, creating a flexible plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits including flexible scheduling and easier access to consistent care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, therapists can provide support across different formats so people can choose the medium that best fits their life and communication style.
