About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She brings three years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and identity. Kate focuses on straightforward, respectful care aimed at helping people manage strong emotions and life changes.
Her approach centers on listening first. Sessions tend to begin with practical questions about daily routines and immediate struggles. From there she offers small, doable strategies to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of control.
Background and approach
Kate uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based tools to address patterns of thinking and feeling. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to support emotional balance and self-awareness. These methods are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way for everyone.
She has particular experience with concerns linked to LGBT identity, addiction, anger, mood challenges, and coping with major life transitions. Kate pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes someone’s experience, including feelings of isolation or pressure to meet expectations. Conversations in her sessions are collaborative and practical.
People can expect clear suggestions, short skill-building exercises, and time to reflect on what matters most to them. The aim is to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier days.

Therapy Approaches for Managing Emotions Online
The practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, anger, or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, daily demands, and what feels most useful. Sessions include collaboration on homework, brief skill practice, and regular check-ins to see what is or isn't helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, or family life.
