About Easter

Easter Spates is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, she guides clients through coping with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, managing addictive patterns, improving intimacy and communication, and navigating parenting and caregiver stress. Her work blends evidence-informed methods with an empathic, client-centered stance that honors each person’s story.

She helps clients explore attachment patterns, family of origin issues, codependency, and feelings of shame or isolation while also focusing on practical strategies for self-love, resiliency, and life purpose. Easter draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and solution-oriented techniques to support change and coping.

Practically oriented and collaborative, she offers coaching-style support when helpful and attends to concerns like compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, anger, and midlife transitions. Clients can expect a respectful therapeutic presence that prioritizes clear communication, goal-setting, and steady progress toward the outcomes they define.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Easter integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these approaches so they fit the client’s situation rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions from home, on a break, or while traveling within the same region. These formats support continuity of care and allow for a mix of real-time conversations and ongoing written check-ins, which can be particularly helpful for clients juggling caregiving, work, or other responsibilities.
