About Angela
Angela Simbro is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, attention differences, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around practical life problems.
Her approach is grounded in trauma-informed care. She begins by assessing immediate safety and current needs, then develops a treatment plan that fits the person sitting across from her. She uses a mix of talk-based methods and body-focused work where that seems helpful, alongside psychoeducation to explain what is happening and why.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are commonly part of her work. She also draws on Client-Centered principles and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts, feelings, and patterns. The Gottman Method is used when relationship skills and communication are a focus.
Angela describes care in straightforward terms: identify what’s causing strain, build practical skills, and test small changes in daily life. She pays attention to wellness, motivation, and safety planning as part of treatment planning. That planning can include behavioral activation, coping strategies for sleep and eating, and steps to manage anger or overwhelm.
People who contact her can expect clear, goal-focused conversations about problems at work, home, or in relationships. She asks about strengths, daily routines, and what’s already helping, then uses that information to guide next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small committed steps toward what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, motivation problems, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep and eating problems, and anger regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflective conversation, and building on a person’s strengths to make decisions and cope with stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That conversation guides which methods are tried and how sessions are structured, so treatment stays collaborative and focused on real-life changes.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or health appointments. The clinician will discuss practical scheduling and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire and set up a first session.
