About Tina

Tina Fountain is a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, anger, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related issues. Tina also focuses on abandonment, commitment and control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She draws on several methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, and client-centered techniques. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and building skills to manage strong emotions and difficult situations.

Tina trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work. Over her career she has worked in community behavioral health, university counseling, workplace settings, and private practice. She has provided crisis response and trauma counseling, including work after a significant local tragedy, and has supported short-term Employee Assistance Program work.

In meetings she aims for clear goals and practical steps. That can mean learning coping skills for panic attacks, using mindfulness for stress, or practicing new ways to handle relationship conflict. Sessions are paced to the individual and focus on usable strategies for everyday life.

For someone balancing work, family, and health pressures, she offers steady clinical experience and a practical problem-solving focus. Clients looking for a licensed social worker in Virginia will find her background directly relevant.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems to build flexibility in how someone responds to difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, mood disorders, and everyday worry because it provides concrete tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, symptoms, and practical needs. That discussion can include trying a few techniques and keeping what helps most.

Confirm the session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family, and health commitments. It can also allow for short check-ins when time is limited, or for sessions without video when bandwidth is low or a quieter setup is needed. Ask about current options when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
