About Angelo

Angelo Fouras is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of practice. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, and other life challenges. He presents as calm and patient and aims to offer a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals tailored to each person.

He treats therapy as a team effort. Angelo asks about short and long term goals and adapts his approach to what each person needs. He combines approaches such as cognitive-behavioral methods, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered care to match the situation.

Angelo’s background includes a Bachelor in Psychology and a Master in Social Work from Rutgers University. He has worked in schools, community programs, outpatient clinics, group homes, and through home visits. That variety shaped his practical style and comfort with many kinds of life challenges, including caregiving stress, codependency concerns, trauma, and coping with chronic illness.

In sessions he emphasizes honesty, compassion, and steady support. He listens closely and moves at the client’s pace while offering tools for managing symptoms and improving relationships. He also brings experience running groups and working across age ranges.

People who connect with Angelo often want straightforward guidance and a collaborative plan. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to practice skills between meetings. To begin, he asks for a clear sense of what you hope to change so work can be focused from the first session.

How Angelo’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the person’s lead to set the pace and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort priorities and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes clear exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving stability when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angelo will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and skills practice in the moments they arise. Ask about available session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
