About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with three years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Kate also works with concerns such as coping with life changes, low self-esteem, addictions, and compassion fatigue.
Kate aims to help people understand their feelings and respond to them differently. She talks through how emotions show up in day-to-day life and helps clients build simple skills to manage intense moments. Sessions emphasize practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her work often supports clients exploring sexual identity and LGBTQ matters. She pays attention to cultural factors and how those affect emotions, behavior, and relationships. That perspective shapes how she frames goals and next steps with each person.
Kate uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Techniques draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered methods. Those tools are used to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and increase self-awareness.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and focused skill practice. Early sessions usually clarify priorities and identify a few exercises to try between meetings. Over time the work shifts toward building habits that help with anger, mood swings, and day-to-day stressors.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and persistent anger patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems like mood swings and panic attacks going. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in tense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to test methods and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist set goals together and try practical exercises to see what fits day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel, or family responsibilities. It also allows shorter check-ins, use of exercises between meetings, and keeping momentum when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to virtual sessions to focus on managing anger, improving communication, and practicing coping skills.
