Asuqwo Ekene, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Asuqwo

Asuqwo Ekene is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience in mental health practice. He practices in Texas and offers straightforward help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. His style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first visit.

He works in a person-centered way, meeting each person where they are. Sessions begin by talking about what brought the person to therapy and what they hope to change.

Background and approach

From there he and the client set clear, practical goals together. Asuqwo draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. He also uses solution-focused methods that concentrate on small, achievable steps toward improvement.

These approaches are blended to suit each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. He pays attention to cultural background and life context when planning sessions. That includes helping with issues like identity, prejudice and discrimination, and the strain that comes from isolation or caregiving roles.

The aim is to find realistic strategies for daily life. Sessions can include talking through emotions, practicing new coping skills, and setting homework between meetings when it helps. The initial session is a chance to map priorities and agree on how progress will be tracked.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Asuqwo uses client-centered work to create space for each person to tell their story and name their priorities. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and building a shared plan so the therapist follows the client’s lead and values their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then try manageable changes. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and daily habits by turning small experiments into clearer choices.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and what the client wants to achieve soon. It often emphasizes strengths and what already works, helping people build momentum through short, achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences, and adjust if something isn’t helping. This decision is collaborative and revisited as progress is tracked.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of support from home or work.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
