I am licensed in Oklahoma with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, confidence and depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, client centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kate is super sweet and understanding, the session I’ve had so far immediately felt like a weight off of my shoulders. Definitely recommend her!!
Only a few weeks of working with Kate, and I already have a decrease in panic attacks. She is positive that I will be the person I want to be, which makes me have faith.
I have been through many therapists in the past, and Ekaette is the one for me. It finally happened and breathing is easier now. I am so thankful for her. If you stumble upon her profile, don’t hesitate, she will make a concrete box feel like home.
Kate is awesome. She makes you feel safe and welcomes/gives space for your thoughts and gives you insightful things to reflect on. Thank you so much!
Very concerned about my health Helped me with my concerns
It’s been hard getting to therapy. I’ve always felt like I can’t be the one who needs it because everyone else needs me! Kate is the first therapist to treat me like a human, listen to what I have to say and respond when she knows I need it. We have only had one session so far but she makes me excited to go back and so very hopeful, which surprises the heck out of me! Kate is someone who will help and listen with all she has instead of acting like you are someone to check off the list.
Kate is the BEST!!
Kate is extremely empathetic and also has such a bright energy to be around, which I think is especially helpful for people with anxiety like myself. Every time I finish a session with Kate, my loved ones notice that my mood changes. If you are ready for change, Kate will be by your side to take big steps or baby steps to get to your goal; she will also support you if you take one step forward and two steps back. Kate is also wonderful at checking in with how you are feeling and if certain techniques/strategies are working for you. My favorite thing about Kate is she is honest and real about her human-ness and how her background has shaped her, and she uses this realness to genuinely connect with her clients.
