Ms Kristel Roper

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Are you suffering from anxiety? I can help you learn the tools to take your life back from social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or OCD.”

About Me

When anxiety feels overwhelming, whether it's social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or OCD, I understand the impact on daily life. I help you learn practical tools to manage these challenges effectively. We'll work together to identify triggers and build resilience, so you can reclaim a sense of calm. My aim is for you to step back into life feeling more confident and in control.

Approach

We shift attention from what's overwhelming toward small, practical steps you can try right away. In my Fair Oaks office, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace so you feel seen and guided. Together we practice focused exercises in-session, experiment with gentle exposures when you're ready, and build simple strategies to use between meetings so progress continues outside therapy. This way of working tends to help individuals who want clear, hands-on tools to regain calm and confidence.
