Remote sessions and therapeutic approach



Ekaette "Kate" Atakpo offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. In an online setting she combines several evidence-informed methods so that people can choose approaches that match their needs. Client-Centered Therapy is a throughline: it emphasizes listening closely to the person in front of her and following their lead to set goals and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness practices support exploration of values and present-moment awareness, helping clients take steps toward what matters to them even when emotions are difficult. Motivational Interviewing tools can be introduced when change feels uncertain or ambivalent.

These methods may be combined during remote work. Clients who prefer skills practice, values-based planning, or a reflective, client-led process can discuss which mix of approaches fits best during initial sessions.
