Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo

Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She has three years of clinical experience helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and issues tied to identity and relationships. Kate approaches therapy with a calm, respectful manner that aims to make hard conversations feel manageable.

She often works with clients wrestling with anger, depression, substance concerns, and struggles around self-esteem. Kate pays attention to how identity and culture shape a person’s experience. She helps people who feel isolated or unsure about life direction find clearer footing.

In sessions she mixes practical skills training with space to talk things through. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are used alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness. The goal is to build tools that can be used day to day, not just talk about problems.

Kate also supports people exploring sexual identity and LGBT concerns, and she includes coaching-style conversations when clients want to work on goals and life changes. She frames therapy as a partnership and adjusts pace to each person’s needs.

Clients who choose Kate will follow a simple intake process to get matched and schedule sessions. She speaks English and can work with people from outside the United States. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online approaches that teach practical coping skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It introduces concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, useful for panic, depression, and obsessive patterns.

Mindfulness-based approaches teach present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises. These practices help reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or elements from other approaches.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The profile notes international clients are accepted, but exact formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments, fit therapy into a busy day, and use shorter check-ins when needed.
