Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos , LCSW, LSCSW

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed therapist based in Kansas with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through major life transitions and ongoing challenges. She draws on a strengths-based, client-centered stance to help clients navigate relationship dynamics, family conflicts, career shifts, and the personal work of growth and self-discovery. As a clinician holding LCSW and LSCSW credentials - designations indicating advanced clinical social work training and licensure - she brings practical skills and compassionate guidance to complex issues.

Her practice includes focused work on women's issues, communication difficulties, attachment and adoption concerns, and healing after trauma or loss. She also helps clients address workplace stress, career purpose, midlife transitions, and struggles with anxiety, depression, addictions, or compassion fatigue. Angelique places attention on interpersonal skill building, clearer boundaries, and recovery from abuse or sexual assault while honoring each person’s identity and life story.

Clients can expect collaborative exploration that emphasizes realistic coping strategies, improved communication, and steps toward meaningful change. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with empathetic listening to support individuals seeking stronger relationships, renewed direction in work and life, and recovery from painful experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Angelique combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping each person explore their own goals and values, which is useful for relationship issues, identity questions, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients seek change but feel uncertain or ambivalent; this approach helps clarify motivation and build commitment to goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angelique works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor strategies so sessions feel relevant and actionable.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and reduce travel barriers. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geographic distance and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support in ways that fit each client's life.
