Asuqwo Ekene, LPC

Asuqwo Ekene is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years in the mental health field. He practices in Texas and works with people facing stress and anxiety among other concerns. He aims to create an empathetic and nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.

He has experience helping people across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, and older adults. He has supported clients coping with grief and loss, depression, chronic illness, anger, and the everyday strain of life changes.

Sessions focus on what brought each person to therapy and on clear goals for change. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to examine thoughts and habits that keep problems going.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and a strength-based perspective to identify practical steps people can try right away. Cultural awareness is part of his approach, and he pays attention to how background and identity shape a person's experience.

Expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and collaboration on small experiments between sessions. The initial visit reviews concerns and what the client hopes to gain, and future sessions are shaped from there.

How his approach fits with online therapy

Asuqwo uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's concerns, which helps build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that match those needs. The plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is useful. Online work can also support using practical tools from CBT and solution-focused steps between sessions so people can practice skills in their day-to-day routines.
