About Shakea
Shakea Roper is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Dakota as an LCSW and in Kansas as an LSCSW with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and related issues. Sessions focus on straightforward conversation and practical steps someone can use right away.
Roper draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. She also uses Client-Centered techniques and Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change patterns in their lives. Treatment plans are adjusted if a strategy isn’t helping.
Her background includes navigating parenting and work challenges while raising a family, and that experience informs a direct and honest style in sessions. She listens, offers gentle challenges to unhelpful thoughts, and highlights incremental progress. Sessions aim to leave people with clarity and small, doable steps.
Roper works from Missouri and uses evidence-based approaches alongside solution-focused tools to address problems like panic attacks, bipolar mood shifts, codependency, domestic violence effects, and financial stress. She attends to both immediate coping needs and longer-term behavior change.
People who prefer practical, plain-spoken guidance may find this approach fits their needs. Before scheduling, confirm which session formats she is offering at the time of booking.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Shakea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety or depression and to practice different ways of responding. CBT focuses on concrete exercises and homework you can try between meetings to test what works.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach ways to manage strong emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are practical tools that people often use when managing panic attacks, intense mood shifts, or relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans if something is not helping. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats. Confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow for brief check-ins between appointments. Some people find video sessions useful for face-to-face interaction, while audio or other options can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed.
