About Angela
Angela Dawn Foretich is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and anger. Many clients who come to her are navigating life changes, illness, caregiving roles, or relationship strains and want practical support.
She began practicing counseling and art therapy in 2007. Over the years she has worked with people managing life-threatening illness and their loved ones, and with caregivers under chronic stress. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-focused. Sessions are built around identifying strengths and practical coping skills.
Angela uses a mix of therapies to match what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and to test new behaviors. She also uses attachment-informed work and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and relationships are central concerns.
In sessions she encourages patients to notice what already works for them and to build new skills in manageable steps. She helps people name emotions, practice coping strategies, and plan small experiments to change unhelpful habits. Conversations are straightforward, with a focus on useful tools and clearer choices.
Her background includes long-term work with grief, caregiver stress, blended family issues, chronic health problems, and first responder concerns. People looking for support with anger, communication, or relationship strain may find this practical, skills-oriented approach useful.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and committing to small actions that align with those values. It can help with persistent anger, avoidance, and getting stuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find practical steps that reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and challenges appear.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering flexible scheduling. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better matches a person's needs. Angela's mix of ACT and CBT techniques can be adapted to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and bring real situations into conversation.
