Shakea Roper

Shakea “Kea” Roper, LCSW, LSCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 14 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life stressors and emotional challenges. She aims to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where clients can speak openly, reconnect with their strengths, and take meaningful steps toward the changes they want to see in their lives.

Her perspective is shaped by personal experience with overcoming adversity and balancing major responsibilities, which informs a grounded, compassionate approach that values honesty and practical progress. Shakea works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood-related difficulties, racing thoughts, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family challenges, ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life transitions. She also supports clients navigating issues like codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, blended family dynamics, panic attacks, and women’s issues.

Shakea draws from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. She tailors the work to the individual and collaborates with clients to adjust strategies when something is not helping, with the goal of building clarity and momentum that can carry into everyday life.
