Tina Fountain, LCSW

Tina Fountain is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing common household and relationship strains such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods and draws from several common therapies to help people handle day-to-day problems. Sessions are aimed at building practical skills for emotion regulation, problem solving, and clearer communication at home.

In practice she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools with mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas. Attachment-based perspectives guide work on intimacy and relationship patterns. The result is a flexible mix of techniques that address thinking, feeling, and behavior in concrete ways.

Tina has worked in community behavioral health, university counseling, workplace settings, and private practice. She has provided crisis and trauma response, including counseling after the Virginia Beach tragedy, and has experience offering brief therapy for Employee Assistance Programs.

Her sessions typically focus on coping strategies for panic, mood and anxiety disorders, relationship and parenting stress, addiction-related concerns, and grief. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, commitment or control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, and challenges common to young adults.
