About Angelo
Angelo Fouras is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. He draws on a long history in outpatient and community settings to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. He speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients set goals and move at their own pace.
In sessions, Angelo mixes practical tools with careful listening. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense emotions and changing unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
He also uses client-centered principles to prioritize each person’s values and preferences. His background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University. Over his career he has worked in schools, community programs, group homes, clinics, and through telehealth, and has provided home visits and group work.
This range of settings informs a flexible approach to common challenges like addiction, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, grief, and coping with life changes. Angelo treats matters related to relationships and family life alongside individual concerns such as anger, self-esteem, and career stress. He takes a collaborative stance, helping clients build practical strategies and small habits that can make daily life easier.
He focuses on clear steps rather than jargon, and keeps the work grounded in everyday needs. Sessions are offered in English and take place with attention to what each person wants to accomplish. Angelo aims to be consistent and straightforward, offering support that fits the client’s goals and schedule.
Evidence-backed approaches that work online
Angelo often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which is useful for managing intense feelings and improving communication.He also draws on client-centered principles, which means sessions start with what matters to the client and the therapist adapts methods to fit personal goals. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - Angelo will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to check in between longer sessions. The variety of formats also lets clients pick the way of working that feels most comfortable, whether they prefer face-to-face video or short, frequent text check-ins.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
