I'm Angela Foster. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in VA, DC, MD and FL with ten plus years' experience providing counseling to a wide range of clients with various mental health concerns. My therapy approach is open, compassionate and goal oriented. I am trained in various therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy. The therapeutic relationship is a key element for a successful therapy outcome. I strive to make your experience comforting and positive. During our initial session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, as well as history, relationships, and past/current stressors. I look forward to working together. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
