Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos draws on client-centered therapy to create a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where the client s priorities guide the process; this approach helps with relationship concerns, identity work, and navigating life transitions by focusing on each person s experience and goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical strategies for coping and problem solving. Motivational Interviewing is another method she employs to support people who are facing ambivalence about change - it helps uncover personal motivations and build momentum toward healthier choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gigi works with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection is collaborative and can evolve as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Gigi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographical distance, and varied communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care and access to licensed professionals who can tailor interventions to each client s situation.
