With over a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be entirely real. Real change happens when we stop blaming ourselves and start understanding our patterns, which is why my approach is completely down-to-earth and focused on what actually works for you.
I show up to this work as both deeply compassionate and completely honest. I’m not afraid to be a straight shooter when it’s helpful, but that directness is always wrapped in genuine care and respect for exactly where you are at. I'm here to help you get to the root of your reactions so you can make sense of them and finally have the clarity to do things differently.
While the work we do is deeply meaningful, I don’t think therapy has to be heavy all the time. When it fits, I bring a bit of humor into the room to help break the tension and remind us that there is still room to breathe. When we work together, you get a genuine partner who is right there in the trenches with you—and occasionally, a quiet appearance from my dog or cat in the background to keep our sessions grounded :)

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in real conversation. Rather than just analyzing the past, we also focus on what is happening in the present moment, what is getting in the way, and what actually helps things shift in your everyday life.
In our sessions, we pay close attention to the real-time patterns that track across your life and relationships. This looks like:
Mapping out your automatic emotional patterns and protective responses.
Noticing the unhelpful thoughts and self-blame that keep you feeling stuck.
Actively building more effective ways of coping and relating to others.
We will tackle difficult topics head-on, but always in a way that respects your pace. The ultimate goal of our work isn't just generating insight—it's about creating real, measurable movement in how you feel, relate, and live your life.

Angela Fawcett Practice Description
I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist offering specialized online therapy for individuals and couples across Alberta and Ontario. My practice is collaborative, practical, and deeply rooted in helping clients break free from stuck, painful patterns.
My work is heavily informed by two evidence-based modalities:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): This helps us explore and understand the different "parts" of you that might be working overtime to protect you, even when they leave you feeling overwhelmed, critical, or stuck.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT/EFIT): This approach focuses on attachment and emotional connection. Whether working with an individual or a couple, it helps us map out repetitive conflicts so you can move toward genuine safety and closeness.
Because I work exclusively online, you can access this meaningful, down-to-earth support entirely from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
