About Angelique

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through major life changes. She practices in Kansas and brings a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. Gigi helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or questions about identity and sexuality.

She focuses on practical steps people can use between visits. That might mean honing communication skills, setting boundaries at work, or building small routines that reduce anxiety.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to process difficult feelings when they arise. Gigi pays attention to early attachment patterns and how they show up in adult relationships. She also works with clients impacted by trauma, domestic violence, or sexual assault, helping them reconnect to safety and choice.

Adoption and foster care concerns, parenting stress, and workplace problems are common topics she addresses. Her style combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help changing habits or managing addictions.

Narrative ideas help clients reframe their stories and find new possibilities. People who prefer clear, collaborative planning tend to do well with her. She aims to make sessions understandable and useful.

New clients start by describing what they want to change, and then she helps map a simple plan to get there.

Online session options

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Gigi often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Narrative work can be useful when past events keep shaping present choices and people want to explore new meanings. She pairs that with Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a therapeutic relationship that helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in sessions as straightforward tools to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and work through goals without rearranging a full day.
