Angela Dawn Foretich , LMHC

Angela Dawn Foretich is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and major life changes. She practices from a compassionate, down-to-earth stance and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Angela has worked in counseling since 2007 and brings 17 years of experience to her sessions.

Her approach blends acceptance and commitment techniques with practical cognitive-behavioral tools. She encourages clients to notice what matters to them and to build small, achievable habits that reflect those values. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space to process strong emotions when they arise.

Angela has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and complicated grief. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, communication problems, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Many clients seek her help while navigating transitions such as separation, blended family adjustments, or aging-related issues.

In sessions she uses attachment-informed listening to understand relationship patterns and dialectical skills to manage intense feelings. Her work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She helps clients strengthen skills they already have and develop new ones for handling trouble spots.

Angela practices in Florida and meets with people in English. She offers a variety of online session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them. It teaches noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that match personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions; it can help people understand communication problems and strengthen connections with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. She uses a collaborative process to mix approaches and tailor skills to the situation rather than prescribing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits many lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and can be useful for brief updates or skill practice. These options make it easier to build consistent care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
