About Angela
Angela Simbro is a licensed social worker practicing in Missouri. She brings six years of clinical experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, attention challenges such as ADHD, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strengths-focused stance in her work.
Angela begins by meeting clients where they are and looking at safety and immediate needs first. She uses a wellness-minded approach that blends talk therapies with somatic work and practical education.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s situation rather than following a single method. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She also draws on family systems ideas and expressive approaches when those fit the goals.
The emphasis is on small, concrete steps people can try between sessions. Angela has experience helping people with sleep and eating concerns, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, addiction issues, and career or life-change transitions. She also works with people navigating gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care experiences, autism spectrum questions, and caregiver stress.
Her credential list includes LSCSW and LCSW. Angela explains options with straightforward language and partners with each person to build a plan that matches their pace and priorities.
Practical approaches you can use online
Angela commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up, which helps with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation problems. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps people figure out which strategies feel useful and which need reworking.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit real life. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions.
