More about Angela
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri. I have ten years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, acute inpatient, in home, and in schools. I have the most experience working with children, teens, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, major life changes, and trauma/abuse history. I also have experience working with intellectual disabilities, depression, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. LGBTQ+ individuals have been a large part of my experience over the past 3 years.
My passion for the field comes from working with others to help them become the best version of themselves. I always tell my clients that I am walking alongside them in their journey-not leading the way. I firmly believe that we are all the experts on ourselves and I work hard to meet clients where they are on their own journey.
My style could be described as caring and validating, with a holistic approach. I am warm, supportive, and down to earth. I enjoy sharing mindfulness skills and other calming strategies as well as communication skills. I believe in practicing skills and promoting confidence in individuals. I believe that gaining positive views of self, practicing skills, and working through any sort of trauma takes time to heal and I want to be able to help you in any way that I can.
I check and respond to messages regularly during the week and will respond as quickly as possible! On the weekends, I do take the time for my family and will not respond to messages from Friday at 4 pm until Monday morning.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is incredibly kind, Offered a different therapist. I'm personally just grateful for an ear.
Angela is down to earth, has a warm personality, and she makes you feel seen and heard. She is relatable and makes therapy an enjoyable experience.
The only therapist in 40 years that has helped me. She is knowledgeable, responsive, kind and respectful. Thank goodness I found her! I’ve never been happier and had a clear mind in my life. I feel I owe it to my therapist who has helped me heal and forgive.
She’s been absolutely great!
Angela is so gentle, intelligent, and kind! She has really helped me the past few months while I was working through a break up and some other personal issues. I highly recommend her!
Angela is approachable and down to earth, which makes our conversations like talking to a friend but with the all therapist benefits!
Working with Angela has been great! She's so kind and she knows how to ask all the right questions. I feel very comfortable with her and I would recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful and guided me through many difficult areas in my life. Highly recommend her ❤️
Angela is very good at pinpointing my issues. I am very self aware, but she has a way of pulling things out that I have minimized in order to just get through the day. She is fantastic.
Angela is amazing, she is a great listener & she actually understands what I am trying to say. If she doesn't understand, then she will ask to get a better understanding so she can help in the best way. Angela wanted to find out the history & background to why I was looking for counseling. And then asked what I wanted to focus on in counseling so it could be the most effective for me. Angela also reaches out to check on me if it's been a little while since she's heard from me. Angela has been my saving grace! I had almost given up on the idea of finding a counselor that could help me.
I would recommend Angela to anyone! She is amazing and has helped me so much. She takes time to remember details about my life and makes me feel appreciated and valued. She is a very warm and welcoming person and it makes appointments feel like talking between very good friends or family.
Thoughtful, helpful and overall fantastic
Angela is a kind and patient therapist, who guides you to see the bigger picture and look at problems in a different way. She really listens and make you feel heard and understood. Thanks, Angela!
Angela since day 1 has made me feel super comfortable & has been extremely helpful. I always leave our session feeling better. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found the right therapist for me.
Angela is insightful, supportive and truly helpful in her suggestions and action steps. I’d happily recommend her to anyone.
Very welcoming, understanding & really gives you all of her attentions. Gives good stratifies to use & helpful tips :)
Angela has been kind and caring with a good balance of being direct and sensitive to the issue I came to BetterHelp with.
Angela is amazing! She is my 2nd BettetHelp counselor and is head and shoulders better than my 1st. She has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. She's great! I would totally recommend her to anyone on this platform who is looking for a caring, thoughtful counselor.
Angela is a kind, insightful and positive presence in our sessions. I feel like even in a short time, her advice and resources have already enabled me to feel better, less anxious and think more clearly. I really enjoy having her as a therapist and you will too!!!
Angela Sheffler has been a great counselor. I feel heard, and I also am happy Angela is the type of counselor that engages in dialogue, asks questions, and offers helpful suggestions.
