About Tova

Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Texas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and ADHD. Her style is open and collaborative, and she aims to create a respectful space for honesty and change.

She combines a person-centered approach with evidence-based methods so sessions are shaped around each person's needs. That may mean talking through patterns that keep problems stuck, practicing small behavior changes, or learning skills to manage intense emotions. She talks plainly and partners with clients to set clear, achievable goals.

Her background includes more than a decade in counseling across the age span. Over eleven years of work has involved supporting people through grief, trauma, intimacy issues, anger, career shifts, and family-of-origin concerns. This experience informs practical strategies she brings into sessions.

Tova also addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, and caregiver stress. She can help people cope with life changes, divorce or separation, and disruptive mood challenges.

In the room she listens first and then helps build a plan together. The plan is revisited as needs change, and she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work to support progress.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and working at the client's pace to figure out what matters most and what changes feel possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress related to work or money concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins consistent during life transitions. Some formats are better for brief skill practice while others work for longer conversations, so pick what matches your routine and comfort level.
