About Shakea
Shakea Roper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience helping people manage hard moments. She aims to create a direct, honest space where clients can speak openly, find their voice, and work toward practical change. Shakea draws on her life experience as a single parent and her professional background to relate to everyday struggles without judgment.
She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood changes, stress, and addictions. Self esteem and coping with life changes are part of her regular work, along with grief and trauma. Shakea also addresses relationship and family-related issues, communication problems, and codependency in individual sessions.
Her approach is straightforward and active. She listens closely, gently challenges unhelpful thinking, and offers small, doable steps to try between meetings. Shakea uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on what fits the person.
Clients can expect focused conversations that lead to immediate takeaways. She emphasizes practical tools for managing panic attacks, racing thoughts, cravings, and low mood. Progress is measured in clearer thinking and better daily coping rather than perfect outcomes.
Shakea practices in Missouri and holds both LCSW and LSCSW credentials. If a reader wants to explore working together, they can start by completing the site’s short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform.
