Kenneth Roper, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW, LISW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Kenneth!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I take a person-centered, strength-based approach, using evidence-based strategies like CBT and DBT to help you build coping skills and gain clarity.

My focus

I work best with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating stress related to anxiety, relationships, or life transitions. Many of my clients are trying to balance work, family, and personal challenges while also working through past experiences that continue to impact how they show up in their daily lives.

My approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. In our first session, we’ll talk through what brought you in and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful and realistic. From there, we’ll work together at your pace to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns.

My communication style

I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and understood from the very beginning. My communication style is warm, direct, and supportive. I will meet you with empathy while also being honest and practical in helping you move forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into this field was driven by a genuine desire to understand people and support them through some of life’s most challenging moments. Early on, I saw how much of an impact it makes when someone feels truly heard, supported, and understood and that’s what drew me to becoming a therapist.

My goals for you

help you set goals that are realistic, meaningful, and tailored to your life, not just what sounds good on paper. Early in our work, we’ll identify what you want to change, what’s getting in the way, and what progress would look like for you. From there, we break those goals into manageable steps so you’re not feeling overwhelmed.

Our first session

During our first session, we’ll take time to understand what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. You can expect a relaxed, conversational space where you’re not pressured to share more than you’re comfortable with but encouraged to be open at your own pace.
