About Angela
Angela Simbro is a licensed social worker practicing in Missouri with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and challenges like ADHD, depression, and grief. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and build practical steps forward.
She views care through a trauma lens and begins by assessing immediate safety. From there she uses a wellness framework and an integrative approach chosen to match each person’s needs. Sessions may include somatic work, psychoeducation, and conversation-based therapy to help people understand their responses and try new strategies.
Angela draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, family-systems thinking, and behavioral activation when those fit a plan. Expressive arts and strengths-based methods are added as helpful tools.
Her background emphasizes practical treatment planning for individuals and systems, safety planning, and motivational interviewing. She notes experience with trauma-focused methods and ADHD support systems, framed inside a broader wellness and recovery process.
People seeking help around adoption and foster care matters will find that this is one of her areas of focus. Angela aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people clarify values and take actions that align with them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and improve mood.She also uses Client-Centered techniques that prioritize a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. That approach helps people feel heard and guides collaborative goal setting. Together these methods support work on anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, motivation, and everyday coping skills.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
