About Angela
Angela Dawn Foretich is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Many clients seek her out for help managing relationship and family concerns or for support while caring for someone with a serious illness.
Angela began practicing counseling and art therapy in 2007. Her background includes work with people processing loss, people living with chronic illness, and caregivers under heavy strain. She also has experience helping those who have faced traumatic events and those navigating anger and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach blends several methods to match the practical problem at hand. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and family of origin issues come up.
Sessions are conversational and focused on skills people can use between meetings. Angela encourages identifying existing strengths and building new coping strategies for stress and change. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and forgiveness work when relevant.
People who are managing caregiving duties, blended family stress, or the effects of chronic pain often look for help with pacing and realistic goals. Angela supports clients coping with first responder stress, divorce, and control issues as well. If you are a young adult dealing with early-life transitions such as leaving home, starting work, or feeling behind, she lists young adult issues among her focus areas.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on values and small behavior steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful cycles. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and mood-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can help with relationship strain and family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, fewer travel hours, or options that avoid video when signal or bandwidth are limited. Licensed professionals can help structure online meetings to practice skills, review progress between sessions, and set concrete steps for real-world change.
