About Angela

Angela Kieler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work with clients in Missouri and beyond.

Background and approach

She has supported people across the lifespan, from children in special education to elderly adults in hospice care, and has provided both art therapy and individual counseling for those facing addiction or severe and persistent mental illness.

Her background also includes educating family members through the National Alliance on Mental Illness and serving as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, MO. Those seeking practical, flexible support will find a practitioner who values a humanistic stance and adapts methods to each person’s needs.

Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential and client-centered approaches, plus internal family systems and art therapy techniques. Personal experience with family members who have lived with mental illness informs her sensitivity to the challenges of navigating mental health care.

Angela emphasizes collaboration, tailoring strategies to help clients manage stress, mood concerns, relationship struggles, trauma, addictions, identity questions, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Angela often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT emphasizes learning to accept difficult internal experiences and commit to values-based actions to improve daily functioning and resilience.

She approaches therapy collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process. Together the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and experiences to determine which methods or combination of approaches best support the client’s priorities and promote practical change.

Online therapy with Angela uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support across distances and life transitions, and they allow clients to continue work on skills and coping strategies in ways that align with their daily routines.
