Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos, LCSW, LSCSW

Angelique (Gigi) Tsontos is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Kansas. She focuses on helping people navigate major life shifts and personal challenges. Gigi draws on a straightforward, warm style and aims to make therapy feel like a clear conversation about practical steps.

Her work often centers on relationships, career changes, family tensions, and finding life purpose. She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. Midlife crisis and women's issues are listed among her areas of focus when people face turning points in life.

Gigi uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that invites people to take an active role in shaping their goals. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies to map small, doable changes. Motivational Interviewing and narrative ideas help when someone is stuck or needs to rewrite an unhelpful story about themselves.

In sessions she pays attention to attachment patterns and past trauma that affect current relationships and work life. She works with adoption and foster care histories, communication problems, and recovery from sexual assault or domestic violence. The aim is practical growth rather than labels, helping people build stronger coping skills and clearer boundaries.

Her style is direct and compassionate. She helps clients set realistic goals, try new behaviors, and track progress. People who want a steady, goal-oriented conversation about change may find her approach a good match.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own answers. It helps people who want support in making decisions and building confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can blend styles over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workbreak, and remove travel time. It also gives flexibility for people living outside Kansas who want to work with a licensed professional experienced in midlife transitions and related concerns.
