(she/her)
Welcome and thank you for considering me in your wellness journey. I'm Ekaete Ekpo, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with over a decade of experience providing psychotherapy. I bring warmth, care, compassion, and a nonjudgmental presence to our work together, tailoring therapy to your goals and the unique needs of each client. We'll build insight and practical tools.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Expect a safe space to explore, feel heard, and set goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Compassionate, service-centered therapy helping clients overcome stigma and seek support.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with adults ages 18–64 who are seeking individual therapy and want practical support for navigating anxiety, depression, and life stress. Many of the clients I serve are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, or struggling to cope in ways that feel effective and sustainable. I also support clients working through anger, self-esteem concerns, and relationship or peer-related challenges. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building healthier coping strategies for daily life. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on meaningful change that can be applied outside of session.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how these patterns can impact daily life. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking loops, emotional triggers, and coping habits that may be keeping you stuck. I’ll teach practical, evidence-based tools to challenge negative thoughts, shift behaviors, and build healthier coping strategies. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit your comfort level, with a focus on real-life application between sessions so you can notice meaningful change over time.

Ekaete makes me feel comfortable enough to express myself. She then asks me about certain topics I've shared and offers insight. Conversations flow organically and she helps me get a clear perspective on things.

Eka was very nice and warm to me. She listened to what I had to say without judgement and with great understanding. I look foward to being her patient from now on.
