About Shakea

Shakea Roper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She draws on her own life experience as a source of practical insight and keeps things direct and compassionate. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented so people leave with clear next steps.

Clients can expect a warm but frank approach. Shakea listens first, then helps identify patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

She works alongside people to try different tools and shifts when something isn’t helping. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, depression, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

Additional concerns she addresses include communication problems, codependency, blended family issues, domestic violence, and financial stress. Shakea uses several practical methods to guide sessions.

She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set quick, achievable goals. She works with clients located in Missouri and offers sessions in English.

Her style is grounded, encouraging, and focused on moving forward step by step.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals, helping people feel heard and decide what change matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. If a strategy isn’t working, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, and text options are helpful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
