Angela Simbro

Angela Simbro is a licensed social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting concerns, and anger. She uses straightforward, practical methods and focuses on meeting people where they are. Her approach stresses safety and building strength so clients can manage daily challenges more easily.

Angela frames work through a trauma lens and begins by assessing current needs and safety. She blends talk therapy with somatic practices and psychoeducation to help people understand how stress affects the body and mind. Treatment plans are built with the person’s goals in mind and adjusted as progress is made.

Her practice draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, among other approaches. Angela also incorporates mindfulness techniques and relational work when appropriate. Sessions typically focus on clear skills, behavioral experiments, and practical steps people can try between meetings.

With six years of experience, Angela supports people navigating grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, addictions, and career or life transitions. She also addresses complex situations such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Angela holds LSCSW and LCSW credentials and sees clients in Missouri. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space and tailors each plan to an individual’s needs. To begin, she invites people to take the first step toward change and schedules work around their goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people stuck in worry or avoidance to make purposeful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and improve sleep. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person’s goals lead the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress and life circumstances change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity during life transitions and lets therapists and clients try exercises in the context of daily routines. Ask about current session options to choose what will fit best.
