About Tina
LCSW in Virginia with 18 years of experience, Tina Fountain helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and substance concerns. She works with adults on issues like depression, grief, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career-related stress. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than abstract theories.
Fountain trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work. She has worked in community behavioral health, a university counseling center, workplace settings, and private practice. That range informs how she adjusts session focus to everyday pressures.
Her style is client-centered and eclectic. She prioritizes building a working rapport and starts from the client’s current situation. Treatment often mixes cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on the issue.
She has provided crisis response and trauma counseling, including work after a major local tragedy. She has also delivered short-term therapy in Employee Assistance Program (EAP) settings and holds training relevant to anxiety and panic disorder work.
In sessions she aims to identify clear goals and small, manageable steps. People can expect direct discussion about patterns of thought and behavior, skills practice, and attention to relationships and coping skills. The emphasis is on what to try between sessions and how those efforts affect daily life.

How her approaches inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that align with values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like panic and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people recognize how early interactions shape current relationship reactions.Finding the right method is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That assessment can shift over time as skills build and new issues appear.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Expect practical skill practice, between-session tasks, and check-ins focused on applying techniques to everyday situations rather than long explanatory lectures.
