About Shakea
Shakea Roper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, grief, addiction, and major life changes. Shakea aims to create a straightforward, respectful space where people can speak honestly and find practical next steps.
Shakea draws on her own life experience and professional work to keep sessions grounded and realistic.
Background and approach
She tends to listen closely, ask direct questions, and offer clear tools people can try between visits. When one approach isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan to better fit the person’s needs. Her work addresses concerns such as panic attacks, bipolar symptoms, attention difficulties, relationship and communication problems, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family stress, codependency, and domestic violence histories. Many clients come for help with self-esteem, self-love, and finding a path forward after loss or major transitions. Shakea uses evidence-based methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused practices.
Sessions aim to combine practical skills with honest reflection so people can make steady progress. She practices from Missouri and offers care in English. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens with curiosity and helps people find their own solutions, which suits struggles with self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. If something feels off, they adjust the plan together rather than sticking to one method.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls provide face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and flexible timing. These options let people keep momentum on the work without long commutes or fixed office hours.
