About Ekaette

Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Oklahoma. She has three years of clinical experience and uses a warm, straightforward way of talking to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. Kate aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be worried or unsure.

Kate focuses on practical skills and self-understanding. She draws on several proven methods to help clients reduce symptoms, improve mood, and manage strong feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to center on what is happening now and what small changes can make daily life easier. Her approach is culturally aware and respectful. She pays attention to issues like identity, isolation, and life purpose while helping people build tools for coping and healthier patterns.

Topics she works with include relationships, communication problems, addictions, and compassion fatigue among others. Therapy with Kate mixes goal-focused strategies and client-led reflection. That means she will offer techniques from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based therapies while also listening for what matters most to the person in front of her.

Together the work aims to create clearer choices and steadier emotional ground. Sessions take different forms depending on need, and Kate accepts international clients who prefer remote care. Practical matters like cost vary by location and subscription terms, and prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often useful for anxiety, life transitions, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and obsessive worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when situations feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, try different methods, and adjust as needed so the work feels useful and practical. Clients are invited to give feedback and help shape session focus over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules and varied needs. These options allow people to meet from home or elsewhere and to choose the format that helps them engage best. The flexibility supports consistent work on coping skills, communication, and everyday problem solving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
