Angela Dawn Foretich, LMHC

Angela Dawn Foretich is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. She brings 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Many who come to her are facing major life changes, caregiving burdens, or grief and loss. She began practicing counseling and art therapy in 2007 and has since worked with people coping with life-threatening illness and chronic health concerns. She also supports caregivers and those dealing with compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with relationship and family issues, communication struggles, and problems that arise from past family dynamics. Therapy sessions focus on building practical skills and strengthening what already works for each person. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based and client-centered methods guide the work on relationships and self-understanding. Sessions also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when emotions feel overwhelming. Angela helps people break challenges into manageable steps and practice skills between sessions. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. People who choose her often want a calm, steady clinician who listens and offers concrete strategies. To start, she asks questions about current struggles and goals so the therapy plan fits each person's life and needs.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behavior experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people build safer, more supportive connections with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some forms of skill practice and homework easier to use in day-to-day life, helping therapy tools transfer into real situations.
