About Angela
Angela Sheffler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri with eight years in the mental health field. She has worked in residential settings, acute inpatient care, in-home services, and schools. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.
She is also experienced supporting LGBTQ people and those coping with major life changes. Her approach is grounded and practical. She aims to walk alongside clients rather than direct them.
Background and approach
Sessions often include teaching calming and mindfulness skills, practicing communication techniques, and building confidence through small, doable steps. She uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. That mix helps tackle relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and daily routines that get in the way of functioning.
Angela describes her style as warm, down to earth, and validating. She focuses on meeting people where they are and adapting strategies to each person’s needs. She emphasizes skill practice between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
Practical matters are straightforward. She checks and replies to messages during the week and typically does not respond from Friday 4 pm until Monday morning. Her practice supports video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging depending on scheduling and format preferences.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating, which is useful for relationship stress and intimacy concerns.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are. In an online setting the therapist uses empathy and reflection to help clients feel heard and to build motivation for change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes homework or brief between-session exercises that translate well to video, phone, or messaging formats.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean mixing techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and do skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support short check-ins, planning, and homework reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain consistent practice between sessions.
