About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication problems, and the shifts that come with early adult life. Kate also supports those dealing with questions of identity, LGBT issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her sessions emphasize straightforward conversation and practical skills. She uses gentle questioning, mindfulness practices, and behavioral tools to help people manage panic, mood swings, and compulsive thoughts. Sessions often include exercises to clarify values, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and build steadier daily routines.
Kate describes her style as collaborative and culturally aware. She pays attention to how background and identity affect what someone brings to a session. People meet her for help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, addiction concerns, and family stress.
In therapy she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. That mix is used to address problems like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, codependency, and communication breakdowns. The focus is on skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Her approach also includes coaching elements for people working on life purpose and direction. International clients may be supported, and sessions are offered in English. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Kate uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while deciding what matters most to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck as someone moves through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. That approach is often used for panic, obsessive thinking, mood concerns, and building practical coping habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be useful for anger, relationship conflict, and strong mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as goals become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect with licensed professionals in Oklahoma without needing to be local.
