About Easter
Easter Spates is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Her work often includes stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship or family tensions.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on building better communication, managing intense emotions, and addressing patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
She pays special attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current struggles. Her background includes long experience helping people recover from trauma and abuse. She combines gentle support with problem-focused tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes or breaking cycles like addiction or codependency. Many clients come with confusion about family roles, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or ongoing guilt and shame. She helps name those patterns and practice different ways of responding.
Work can include coaching-style conversations for life purpose, self-love, and midlife transitions. Easter aims to make therapy workable in everyday life. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs.
She listens for strengths and builds from there.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships. In sessions she helps people recognize patterns in giving and receiving support, and then practice different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and distance.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and lets clients guide where the work goes. This is useful for building self-compassion and clarifying personal values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers simple tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses CBT techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and break negative cycles that affect daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls let clients use visual cues for relational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, homework reviews, or when typing helps people organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue momentum between appointments.
