About Angela

Angela Simbro welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about next steps. She focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and everyday struggles like sleep, eating, motivation, and low self-esteem. Angela speaks plainly and aims to create a clear plan so people know what the next session will address.

Angela is a licensed social worker with the credentials LSCSW and LCSW and about six years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She views difficulties through a trauma lens and begins by checking safety and stability. From there she builds a practical wellness plan that fits each person's life and goals. Her work often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based ideas and client-centered conversation.

She also draws on systemic thinking to see how relationships and daily routines shape behavior. Sessions may include psychoeducation, somatic awareness, and skills practice tailored to what the client needs most. People come for help with mood problems such as depression or bipolar symptoms, coping with grief and life changes, ADHD support, substance concerns, and a range of relationship and intimacy issues.

Angela also brings experience with adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication or family-of-origin problems. Her style is respectful and practical. She helps clients set realistic steps, practice new skills between sessions, and track small gains.

For many people the goal is clearer daily routines, steadier moods, and better ways to handle stress.

Approaches Angela names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Angela frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building small actions that match those values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship so clients feel heard and can develop their own solutions. Systemic thinking is also part of her practice, looking at how routines and relationships influence problems and helping clients change patterns in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between sessions.
