About Tova
Tova Pete is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who uses a person-centered approach to help people with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She presents a calm, open style and focuses on teamwork in therapy. Her work centers on practical change and support during difficult life moments.
With 11 years of clinical experience, she helps people address anger, ADHD symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing career stress, intimacy concerns, and major life transitions. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas when it affects daily life and functioning.
Tova blends Client-Centered Therapy with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with goals and steps shaped by each person’s needs. She aims for clear, practical strategies alongside emotional support.
Her stated values emphasize respect, honesty, and trust. She describes therapy as a joint process where the plan is tailored and adjusted over time. Tova frames the first steps as beginning a journey toward growth rather than a one-time fix.
People working with relationship or family concerns will find help with communication problems, blended family issues, attachment and abandonment themes, and caregiver stress. She also lists specific focuses like body image, codependency, and coping with life changes as areas she addresses.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, reflecting feelings and priorities so goals feel relevant and doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems like anxiety or depression going.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tova works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and manageable for everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
