About Angela
Angela Dawn Foretich is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who blends somatic awareness with practical talk therapy. She has provided counseling and art therapy since 2007 and now brings 17 years of experience to sessions. Angela focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and grief.
She works with people facing life changes and those coping with trauma and loss. Her work often starts with listening and finding what feels most useful for each person.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to notice how their body, thoughts, and emotions connect. That awareness becomes a starting point for learning new ways to respond to stress and difficult feelings. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in real skills.
Angela uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, client-centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. She helps people build practical tools for coping, communication, and self-care. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, blended family challenges, first responder stress, and aging concerns.
Angela aims to bolster strengths and gently expand coping resources so clients can manage current problems and future challenges. People can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth clinician who respects individual values and life stories. Angela offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, with multiple online formats available.
Using somatic and evidence-based approaches online
Angela often combines somatic awareness with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based work. Somatic approaches invite attention to bodily sensations to help people notice stress and tension and learn simple grounding practices. ACT focuses on values and flexible action - it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching acceptance and committed steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with relationship strain and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, talk through goals, and try methods that fit your preferences. Together you decide which combination of skills and practices feels most useful, and adjustments are made as you progress.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like flexible scheduling and the ability to meet from home. Video calls allow face-to-face work, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging give options for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. This range of formats makes it easier to keep consistent care and practice skills in day-to-day life.
