About Angela
Angela Grace is an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She practices in Missouri and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and other mood-related concerns.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tries different ways of responding. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, doable steps that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to shape sessions. That means she helps clients identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood, and then tests alternate responses. She also uses mindfulness exercises to build attention and reduce reactivity.
For people who have experienced trauma or repeated relational wounds, she integrates trauma-focused ideas and Internal Family Systems concepts to look at conflicting parts of self and how those parts influence behavior. This work aims to decrease distress and improve how someone relates to themselves and others.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Angela often helps with practical problems like parenting strain, caregiving stress, codependency, addiction concerns, career transitions, and processing loss. People can expect direct discussion, simple practice tasks between sessions, and collaborative planning.
How CBT and related approaches translate to online work
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, thought records, and small behavioral experiments that can be practiced between meetings to shift mood and anxiety. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a collaborative plan based on the person's concerns. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review the client's goals, experience, and preferences and then recommend which methods to use. Clients and therapist adjust the plan together as work progresses. Confirm available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. It also allows for practicing CBT worksheets and mindfulness exercises between meetings so learning carries into daily life.Areas of expertise
