About Tina
Tina Fountain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 18 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia among the issues she works with. Tina works with adults and has provided services in community behavioral health, university counseling, workplace settings, and private practice.
She uses a straightforward, client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on what a person is facing now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Unlike long lectures, conversations are aimed at clear skills and small, manageable changes.
Tina draws on several therapeutic methods to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings concrete skills for managing strong emotions and staying steady under stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and act in line with those values.
Her background includes responding to crisis and traumatic events and delivering short-term therapy in Employee Assistance Programs. She also has a history of working with people experiencing co-occurring substance concerns and mood or panic-related symptoms. Those experiences inform how she guides practical coping and safety planning.
Sessions are described plainly and with respect for each person’s pace. The therapist encourages collaborative goal-setting and works with people on skills they can use in daily life. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to set up an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and encourages action based on personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through small experiments and skill practice, which can reduce panic symptoms and social anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clear emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense reactions and improve everyday functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tina will help a client and therapist decide together which methods fit a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine techniques from several approaches and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings and bring material from daily life directly into a session. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to the online context so work continues between meetings.
