About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and life changes. She also supports people navigating LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Kate focuses on helping people get clearer about what matters to them and build practical ways to handle strong emotions. Sessions are direct and conversational. She uses evidence-based methods to help clients learn new skills and shift unhelpful patterns.
Her style emphasizes cultural awareness and respect for identity. She pays attention to how factors like sexuality or social pressure shape feelings and behavior. That helps clients sort through shame, loneliness, and next steps.
Clients can expect help with communication problems, control issues, and codependency as well as mood and anxiety symptoms. She also addresses more complex personality and relational concerns such as attachment issues, narcissism, and personality disorder related struggles.
Kate draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. She works collaboratively to pick tools that fit each person's goals.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Kate accepts international clients and provides services in English.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then make small meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for low mood, anxiety, and anger-related reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and moment-to-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to try methods, get feedback, and adjust the plan based on goals and what actually helps. That means sessions can evolve from skill-building to values work or a mix of methods depending on progress and preference.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time around work or family obligations. Many people find digital sessions let them practice skills in real-life settings and bring immediate examples into session for discussion.
