Angelique Fontaine, MD, LCSW-C - Therapist in Maryland

About Angelique

Angelique Fontaine is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, mood struggles, and traumatic experiences. She holds an MD and a Master of Social Work and practices in Maryland. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make small, meaningful changes that fit their lives.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach clear skills for coping with anxiety and low mood.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for processing trauma when that is helpful. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy shape how she supports people through change and decision-making. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps.

Angelique listens for patterns that keep problems stuck, then works with people to shift thoughts, routines, or relationships that get in the way. She also addresses addiction, grief, eating concerns, anger, and issues around intimacy and self worth. With four years of experience, Angelique uses a trauma-informed framework that emphasizes respect and dignity.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear, and she has experience with domestic violence and post-traumatic stress concerns. Her training includes psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns. People meet her when they want straightforward guidance and a plan they can use between sessions.

She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and works in English.

Online approaches that address trauma and everyday stress

Angelique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, which helps people process troubling memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions when trauma is a central concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful, explain options, and decide together which method to try first. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs and goals become clearer.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and families. Video calls create face-to-face time without travel, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between meetings. These formats make it possible to practice new skills and stay connected to a licensed professional from home or elsewhere.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
