Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Angelique Fontaine

Angelique Fontaine draws on several evidence-informed methods to support clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that strengthens personal motivation for change and can be especially helpful when addressing ambivalence or addictions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the treatment process. Angelique works collaboratively with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to meet people where they are, using the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
