About Angelo

Angelo Fouras is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 16 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family patterns, intimacy issues, depression, addictions, and ADHD. Angelo frames therapy as a collaborative effort and works to keep both short- and long-term goals in view.

He uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, emotionally-focused work, client-centered listening, and mindfulness exercises. Sessions tend to emphasize clear skills, problem solving, and understanding how early family roles and expectations still affect present behavior. Angelo aims to be direct, steady, and respectful in his work style.

His background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University. He has worked in schools, community programs, outpatient clinics, group homes, and in-home settings. That variety shaped his experience across many life stages and situations.

In a typical session Angelo asks concrete questions, helps name patterns learned in childhood, and practices skills for emotion regulation and better communication. He may mix short-term strategies with deeper conversations about attachment and family-of-origin issues when those topics are relevant.

People considering sessions should note he practices in New Jersey and conducts work in English. Before scheduling, confirm the current session options and how they are delivered.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience so people feel heard and can clarify what matters to them. It helps when someone wants straightforward support to sort out feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and develop new behaviors for anxiety, depression, or relationship patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interactions with others. It can be useful for learning distress-tolerance and emotional regulation techniques that apply to conflict and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angelo will review goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the work matches the client's needs and preferred pace.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - they can shorten commute time, allow sessions during a work break, or let someone choose audio instead of video when that better suits them. Talk with the therapist about what format will work best for scheduling and comfort.
