Angela Dawn Foretich, LMHC

Angela Dawn Foretich brings a steady and compassionate presence to therapy, combining formal training with practical experience to support people facing a wide range of life challenges. Licensed in Florida as an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she began practicing counseling and art therapy in 2007 and has since accumulated 17 years of clinical experience. Angela works with individuals managing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, phobias, and trauma, and she has considerable experience supporting people and families confronting life-threatening illness, caregiving demands, grief, and loss.

Many of her clients are navigating major life changes and seek a thoughtful sounding board, practical guidance, or ongoing support. In sessions she helps clients identify and build on existing strengths while teaching new skills to manage current difficulties and prepare for future challenges. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she tailors interventions to each person’s needs, drawing on evidence-based techniques and relational understanding.

Angela aims to create a collaborative space where individuals can explore emotions, improve coping, and strengthen relationships. She welcomes those who are ready to take the first step toward greater well-being and provides steady support throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Angela integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy into her practice. ACT helps people clarify their values and build willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve mood - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotion regulation, supporting work on intimacy, family issues, and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and integrates strategies that best support each person’s progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain regular contact despite busy schedules or geographic distance. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, responsive care that fits into everyday life while supporting meaningful therapeutic work.
