Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Angelique Fontaine uses evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for survivors of abuse and post-traumatic stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversational approach that supports people who are ambivalent about change, especially useful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic work while accommodating different lifestyles and access needs.
