About Easter

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 21 years of experience. Easter Spates works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addiction concerns, grief, and mood disorders. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice.

Easter focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, communication habits, and responses to stress. She helps clients identify coping skills, shift unhelpful thoughts, and set realistic goals for change.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and family-of-origin concerns. She also supports those dealing with forgiveness, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

The approach is conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect direct discussion of patterns and small experiments to try between sessions. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to address addictive behaviors or make difficult life changes.

Easter draws on attachment ideas to help people understand relational wounds and rebuild trust in relationships. CBT tools are used to notice and change thinking that worsens anxiety or depression. She also includes solution-focused work to create tangible short-term plans and coaching-style steps for practical problems.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. Sessions emphasize listening and reflection so the client can clarify values and next steps. This helps with low mood, self-esteem, and figuring out relationship priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. CBT is useful for those who want concrete techniques to try between meetings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people identify triggers, rebuild trust, and change interaction habits that cause repeated conflict or isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plan for adjustments over the first few sessions as needs and priorities become clearer.

Confirm current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around a break, fewer travel needs, or conversations without being on camera. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
