About Angela

Angela Dawn Foretich is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Many people seek her out when they need a clear listener and practical support during difficult times.

She began practicing counseling and art therapy in 2007 and has spent years supporting people through illness, caregiving challenges, and loss. Her caseload includes those coping with long-term health problems and the strain that brings to daily life. She also works with people managing relationship stress and family-of-origin issues, including codependency patterns and communication struggles.

In sessions she encourages clients to recognize strengths they already have and to build new skills for handling current problems. Practical tools often focus on managing mood, reducing overwhelm, and improving how someone responds to stressors. She uses several approaches that guide these tools, rather than promising any single method will be the answer.

Her background includes work with grief, first responder issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and aging-related questions. She assists people facing divorce, separation, and forgiveness issues, and helps those with anger or self-esteem struggles find steadier footing.

People who reach out should expect a straightforward, respectful approach. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit your priorities rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process may mix techniques from different approaches to address specific problems like codependency patterns, communication issues, or coping with loss.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people work from locations that are quieter or more convenient, and allow use of written exercises and worksheets between meetings to reinforce skills.
