About Tova
Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, anger, and behavior issues.
She uses a person-centered style in sessions. That means conversations focus on the client's experience and goals. She describes her work as open and collaborative, with respect and honest feedback in the room.
Tova draws on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In practice she uses these tools to help people manage symptoms, change unhelpful patterns, and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and practicing communication strategies. For relationship and parenting concerns she helps people address family patterns, role stress, and boundary questions. For ADHD and focus difficulties she works on organization, routines, and realistic problem solving.
Tova aims to make a clear plan together with each person. That plan outlines short-term goals and steps to try between sessions. People who prefer direct, structured conversation alongside supportive listening may find this approach straightforward and pragmatic.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and goals. Online sessions using this approach center the conversation on what the client notices, what they want to change, and what feels most useful in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) organizes problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work CBT can be used to practice new thinking patterns, try behavioral experiments, and set small homework tasks between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. When used online it can help people build step-by-step skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what works, adjusting strategies, and choosing practical exercises to try between meetings.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a study schedule, a workday, or other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins or phone-based options when less screen time is needed. Ask about the current session options to match timing and format to everyday life.
