About Angela

Angela Dawn Foretich is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and life changes. Many people come to her when caregiving, illness, loss, or shifting family roles make daily life harder.

Her work often begins with listening. She offers a steady place to talk through what is most pressing. She helps people notice strengths they already have and build small skills to cope with hard moments.

Foretich draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide sessions. That means sessions can include noticing patterns of thought, practicing small behavior changes, and looking at how past relationships affect current ones.

She also brings experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and aging-related concerns. She has worked with people processing trauma, first responder stress, and complex losses. This background informs practical steps she offers in sessions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Plans may include short exercises, communication practice, and ways to manage intense feelings when they arise. For people balancing family responsibilities, she focuses on practical strategies that fit into busy days.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to act in ways you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to shift mood and reactions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily tasks when feeling low. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and patterns, which can be helpful for relationship and family concerns and for understanding repeated conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That means sessions are collaborative - tweaking techniques and pace until they suit the client.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy household, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on a work break. It can also let people choose options that need less bandwidth, like an audio-only visit, when a video call is difficult.
