Angela Simbro, LSCSW, LCSW

Angela Simbro is a licensed social worker in Missouri who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, and life changes. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to meet clients where they are. Angela focuses on practical steps that people can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control.

Her work centers on a trauma-informed viewpoint. Safety and the client’s immediate needs come first. From there she builds a plan that fits each person’s situation, often combining talk therapy with body-focused techniques and education about symptoms and coping.

Angela uses a mix of approaches as tools rather than rigid rules. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports defining personal values and taking action toward them. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to be heard and understood.

She also draws on methods that support relationships, motivation, and overall wellness when those fit the goals. Sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and discussion of patterns that keep problems stuck. The goal is clearer choices and more consistent ways to handle hard moments.

Angela describes her style as respectful and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and pace. The profile is written for people considering starting therapy and wanting straightforward help for everyday struggles.

How Angela’s approaches translate to online therapy

Angela commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as practical ways to address everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces experiments and skills to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed based on what is helpful.

The practical benefits of doing this work online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break or keep a shorter weekly touchpoint when that suits a person’s schedule.
