Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She practices in Kansas and focuses on helping people manage big life shifts and personal challenges. Gigi aims to make the first steps toward change clear and manageable.

She works with issues like relationships, career changes, stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses women's issues, sexuality, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady support rather than labels.

Gigi uses a collaborative style that centers each person's goals and strengths. She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to tailor the work to each person. Conversations focus on sources of difficulty and small steps that lead to change.

In sessions she helps people clarify values, build healthier communication, and cope with compassion fatigue and workplace strain. She supports exploration of life purpose and midlife transitions, and assists people processing sexual assault and domestic violence when these issues arise.

Her approach balances real-world coping tools with attention to past wounds that still affect day-to-day life. Gigi aims to help people leave sessions with something useful to try.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps by focusing on the effects of past harm and teaching ways to reduce distress in everyday life. It often involves gentle processing and building tools to manage strong reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build trust and clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from more convenient locations. It can also accommodate shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that suits the person's schedule or bandwidth. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking to know what will work best for your routine.
