About Angela
Angela Simbro is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and trauma. She works with individuals to build practical strategies for everyday life and to restore a sense of control. Angela holds KS LSCSW and MO LCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice.
She uses a trauma-informed perspective and begins by meeting each person where they are. Safety and stability are prioritized before moving into skill building.
Background and approach
Sessions often combine talk therapy with body-centered techniques and clear, teachable coping tools. Angela draws on a mix of methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques alongside other approaches.
The aim is to create a simple, realistic plan clients can try between sessions. Practical skills are a focus in sessions. This includes grounding exercises, behavior changes, and strategies to manage anger and difficult emotions.
Psychoeducation and short practice assignments are used so progress can be tracked week to week. People who want direct, collaborative work that links thoughts, feelings, and actions may find this approach helpful. Angela adapts her style to each person’s pace and keeps goals concrete and achievable.
She encourages steps that fit into daily life rather than adding extra stress.

How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It focuses on small, meaningful steps and can help with anger, anxiety, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time, so what starts small can expand as the client sees progress.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill demonstration. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, short coaching-style exchanges, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, fit sessions into a workday, or keep up with regular practice between meetings.
