About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She also supports issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and codependency.
Kate focuses on helping clients notice what matters to them and learn skills to handle hard moments. Sessions are straightforward and practical. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness to address symptoms and habits that get in the way.
She pays attention to culture and identity when those themes show up. That can look like talking through experiences of loneliness, shame, or isolation. It can also mean working on communication problems, anger, or problems tied to substance use and addictive patterns.
Her approach includes coaching-style work alongside therapy. That means setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking progress. Clients who want structure and real-world tools often find this helpful.
Kate offers supportive discussion about sexual orientation and gender concerns without assuming one path. She also helps people who feel stuck by exploring values, building boundaries, and reducing people-pleasing behaviors. International clients who speak English may be seen, and practical details about session cost and scheduling are handled through the service's matching and booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for people who feel stuck or unclear about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through specific exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, panic, and mood-related patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and reduces reactivity; it supports managing stress, urges, and compulsive behaviors.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test approaches that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods based on what helps in practice. That means the first few sessions often include trying different tools and agreeing on a plan together.
Confirm the session formats before booking because they are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, limit travel time, and use short check-ins when a full session is not feasible. They also allow practicing skills in everyday settings, completing guided exercises between meetings, and keeping momentum while managing work or other responsibilities.
