Angelo Fouras, LCSW

Angelo Fouras is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of practice in New Jersey. He draws on broad hands-on experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. He aims to be patient and direct in sessions while respecting each person's pace and goals.

He treats therapy as a collaboration. Sessions focus on short-term steps and longer-term changes. Angelo uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness to tailor a plan that fits each person’s needs. He also brings motivational interviewing and client-centered principles into the process.

Clients can expect honest, compassionate conversation and focused attention. The work in sessions emphasizes practical strategies, clearer communication, and coping skills for issues such as addiction, anger, parenting stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses aging and geriatric issues and caregiver stress when relevant to a person's situation.

Angelo's background began with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University. He has delivered care across schools, community programs, group homes, clinics, and home-based settings. That variety informs his practical, adaptable style.

He welcomes people who want a steady, respectful clinician to help them make real changes. Conversations center on what the person needs now and what they hope to change next.

How Angelo’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. In this approach Angelo follows the person’s lead, reflects their concerns, and helps them clarify what they want to change. It supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Angelo uses short exercises and practical homework to shift thinking and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when intense feelings get in the way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angelo will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills training, emotion-focused conversations, or a mix of methods based on what feels most useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to work over distance while keeping the process collaborative and focused on real-life change.
