About Ekaette
Ekaette 'Kate' Atakpo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people who are navigating anxiety, stress, and questions about identity. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel understood and seen.
Kate works with adults who are sorting through life transitions and relationship concerns. She offers support for common struggles like low self-esteem, isolation, panic attacks, and mood shifts. She also addresses issues related to addiction, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with exploring sexuality and identity.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness. That looks like noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing small experiments to test them, and using grounding or breathing skills when anxiety spikes. Kate also draws on client-centered and dialectical tools to help people name values and set workable goals.
Her style is collaborative and culturally aware. She aims to meet each person where they are and tailor the work to their life and priorities. The focus is practical - learning skills that can be used between sessions and measuring progress along the way.
Kate has three years of clinical experience as an LPC. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and supports those dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks along with a wide range of mood and relationship concerns.
