About Angela
Angela Simbro is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, ADHD, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, sleep and eating issues, and anger. Her work also includes support around career changes, bipolar and depression symptoms, compassion fatigue, and a range of related life challenges.
She frames care through a trauma lens and begins by meeting the person where they are. Safety is assessed early, then a wellness-oriented plan is built. Angela uses a mix of talk therapy, somatic techniques, and psychoeducation depending on what the client needs.
Her usual approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), behavioral activation, and elements from trauma-focused work. She also draws on client-centered principles and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Practical skills and concrete exercises are commonly part of sessions.
Angela has experience supporting people with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, co-occurring conditions, codependency, communication and control issues, and gender dysphoria. She also works with issues like disruptive mood dysregulation, divorce and family of origin problems.
Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful. She helps people identify goals, practice new coping steps, and track small changes over time. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Angela uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. It is useful when anger gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down situations, thoughts, and reactions into steps people can change. CBT commonly helps with managing triggers, building coping skills, and reducing impulsive responses. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspectives and supports building practical strategies at a comfortable pace.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Angela collaborates with clients to identify goals, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes sessions practical and focused on real-life changes rather than labels.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know how she offers appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and support using mindfulness exercises or worksheets between meetings. If you want to address anger that shows up at work, in parenting, or in relationships, online sessions can be a way to practice new skills around the people and situations that matter to you.
