About Tova
Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and stress. She also addresses trauma, grief, anger, ADHD, self-esteem, and intimacy-related problems.
Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She listens and helps people name their priorities. From there she and the client build a clear plan that fits practical life demands.
Tova uses a range of therapeutic methods. She draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often mix talking through patterns with concrete skills practice and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings.
She helps people who struggle with control issues, communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, body image, caregiver strain, and codependency. She also supports people facing divorce, separation, family of origin difficulties, and major life changes.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Expect practical tools for setting boundaries, managing anxiety, handling intense emotions, and improving communication. Tova aims to work together with each person to find approaches that fit their life.
Clients should confirm current session formats before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Texas licensure and practice context.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. In online sessions this looks like time to talk through what matters most and shaping goals together to match real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; online meetings can include brief homework, thought records, and planning experiments between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, and those skills can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods to emphasize based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist adjust the focus over time, trying techniques and choosing what feels most useful. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during a short break at work, or to have a focused 50-minute check-in without leaving home. Confirm which session formats are available before booking so they match your schedule and communication needs.Areas of focus
