About Angelique

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She practices in Kansas and helps people facing relationship stress, career changes, and life transitions. Gigi focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more confident.

She works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, grief, and self esteem. Her practice includes support for people navigating sexuality, women's issues, and the aftermath of sexual assault or domestic violence. She also addresses challenges tied to adoption, attachment, and communication problems.

Gigi blends approachable, client-centered work with structured techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments between sessions. Motivational interviewing and narrative methods are used when someone wants to reframe their story or strengthen their resolve to change.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. She helps clients set straightforward goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time. The tone is respectful and down-to-earth, with attention to real-life obstacles like workplace stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue.

Her background as a licensed clinician informs practical support for midlife questions, career pivots, and parenting-related strain. People looking to build clearer boundaries, improve communication, or rebuild self esteem often find a mix of empathy and actionable steps in her work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment one step at a time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made or new needs emerge, keeping the work collaborative and flexible.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, narrative exercises, and motivational conversations to an online setting so the work remains practical and goal oriented.
