About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She brings three years of clinical experience and a calm, direct style to sessions. Kate focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering clear tools and steady support.
Clients meet a practitioner who prefers straightforward conversation. She listens first, then helps identify small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build routines that support mood and coping.
How Ekaette works
Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Kate also addresses concerns related to identity and LGBT issues, addictions, anger, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, isolation, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Kate blends these approaches to match each person's needs, using practical exercises and reflective conversation. Sessions can be short-term coaching-style work or longer counseling when mood disorders or personality concerns are part of the picture.
She supports people exploring life purpose, improving communication, and managing panic, bipolar symptoms, or mood instability. The tone in sessions is compassionate and goal-oriented. People can expect straightforward guidance, targeted coping skills, and a focus on what helps in daily life.
Kate accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses values and small actions to move toward a more meaningful life and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and work on life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or choose a less formal pace. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and changing life demands.
