About Angela
Angela Kieler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD and related issues. She also focuses on intimacy, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
She has worked across ages and settings. That includes children in special education, people in hospice care, and patients with addictions or persistent mental illness. She has also provided education for family members through the National Alliance on Mental Illness and served as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at a medical center in Kansas City, Missouri.
Her clinical approach is practical and client-centered. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, existential ideas, attachment-informed thinking, and client-centered methods. She also has experience offering art therapy in clinical settings. Sessions emphasize clear steps and everyday strategies rather than clinical jargon.
Her personal experience supporting family members with mental illness informs how she helps others navigate services and supports. She aims to make the path to care easier to understand and to help people find manageable next steps.
People who prefer working with a counselor who draws on several approaches may find this helpful. She accepts English-speaking clients and works with individuals across a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety and phobia.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and situations that feel limiting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Attachment-informed work pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships. This approach can help with intimacy, trust issues, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between obligations. Some formats also make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed or to avoid being on camera if that feels better. Practical scheduling and format options should be checked during signup so sessions match everyday life and goals.
