About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, family concerns, and support for LGBT-identifying people. She also lists work with bipolar conditions, anger, compassion fatigue, and coaching for life adjustments.
Kate works with adults who are trying to make sense of relationship strain, shifting roles, or the everyday weight of parenting and caregiving. She uses straightforward conversations to spot what is causing distress. Then she looks at practical steps a person can try between sessions.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Kate draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and encourage committed action. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior tools are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions involve listening, reflection, and skill-building exercises. Clients can expect discussions about patterns that keep problems in place and hands-on tools to test small changes. Kate pays attention to cultural context and identity when those issues come up.
She accepts clients who live outside the United States as noted in her profile, and she offers sessions in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching steps to choose online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer on what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what to prioritize. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and testing practical alternatives. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices so strong emotions are noticed earlier and handled more calmly.Choosing the right approach is something to work out together. The therapist will invite discussion about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process guides whether more ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a mix is used in sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and let people use visual or written exercises from their own environment. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to fit everyday life, so learning can continue between meetings.
