Angela Sheffler, LCSW

Angela Sheffler is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri, where she brings a strengths-based and collaborative approach to mental health care. She has worked across a range of clinical environments - including residential programs, acute inpatient settings, in-home services, and school-based supports - developing broad experience with children, teenagers, adults, and whole families who are managing anxiety, major life transitions, and histories of trauma or abuse.

Her background also includes work with individuals who have intellectual disabilities, depression, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Over the past three years she has focused extensively on serving LGBTQ+ people, adding depth to her practice with diverse identities and relationship structures. Angela emphasizes meeting people where they are and supports clients as a partner who walks alongside them rather than directing their path.

Clinically, Angela blends a caring, validating manner with a holistic orientation. She is warm, down to earth, and supportive, and she frequently teaches mindfulness techniques, calming strategies, and communication skills. Her work encourages regular practice of new skills, building self-confidence, and gradual healing from trauma, recognizing that meaningful change takes time.

Angela responds regularly to messages during the workweek and aims to reply as promptly as possible. She sets aside time for family on weekends and does not respond to messages from Friday at 4 pm until Monday morning.
