About Angela

Angela Sheffler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Sheffler has supported people across residential, inpatient, in-home, and school settings, concentrating on anxiety, major life changes, and trauma or abuse histories.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses depression, ADHD, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum concerns, and she has substantial recent experience working with LGBTQ clients. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's expertise about their own life.

Sheffler describes her style as caring, validating, and down-to-earth, combining practical skills training with mindfulness and communication strategies. Clients can expect an emphasis on building self-confidence, practicing coping tools, and working patiently through attachment and trauma-related challenges.

Sheffler maintains regular weekday message responses and pauses message replies on weekends to focus on family time.

Online approaches that teach skills and build connection

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and connection that shape emotional responses and can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sheffler takes a collaborative stance, working with clients to clarify goals and choosing techniques that match their needs and preferences while adapting methods over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to continue skills practice between sessions in ways that fit their daily life.
