About Tina
Tina Fountain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She brings 18 years of experience to support people facing trauma, grief, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions. Tina uses straightforward, practical strategies and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that emphasizes respect and honesty. Sessions begin by meeting you where you are and building a trusting working relationship.
Background and approach
Tina draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Her background includes work in community behavioral health, a university counseling center, and workplace settings. That range has shaped a flexible approach that fits short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper issues.
Tina also has experience providing crisis response and trauma counseling after major local events. In therapy she focuses on practical skills alongside emotional insight. For example, she may help identify triggers for anger or panic, practice grounding and DBT-style skills, and set small, achievable goals toward better coping.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Tina holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. She aims to help people confront hard problems, build coping tools, and find strengths they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice stressful thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It works well for mood disorders, panic, social anxiety, and anger by teaching clear skills for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may blend ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or attachment-informed ideas when that makes sense. The plan can shift as needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when possible, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins or texting can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into work or family schedules.
