About Angela
Angela Kieler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, mood disorders like depression and bipolar, addictions, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. She also addresses ADHD, intimacy problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Kieler draws on practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build actions that matter to them. She also brings a client-centered stance that focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person in front of her.
Her background includes work across many settings. She has provided art therapy and individual counseling for people with addictions and severe mental illness. She has worked with children in special education and with elderly adults in hospice. She has also offered education to family members through the National Alliance on Mental Illness and worked as a Qualified Mental Health Professional at Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kieler’s professional and personal experience with family mental health challenges informs how she approaches care. She aims to help people untangle the ongoing effects of the family they grew up in and to develop clearer choices in relationships and daily life. Sessions emphasize practical steps, coping skills, and clearer understanding of patterns that repeat over time.
Before scheduling a session, people are encouraged to review current session options so they know what formats are offered at the time of booking.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from old patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior through small steps and experiments. CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and managing mood shifts.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore what matters to them. This approach supports many concerns from relationship issues to grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That joint planning can include mixing techniques from different approaches as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are being offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and value-based planning for remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
