About Tova
Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, ADHD, and related concerns.
She takes a client-centered approach combined with evidence-based methods. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than theory. Conversations are collaborative and direct, with attention to what is useful right now.
Tova uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns that keep problems going and to try different responses. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when strong feelings get in the way. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice reactions before they act on them.
Her work also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and build commitment to change. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work to move past a specific problem. These approaches are folded into a person-centered framework so sessions stay grounded in the client's priorities.
Practical concerns such as communication problems, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and grief are often part of the work. Tova helps people talk through control issues, commitment worries, and the strain that comes with blended family situations. The focus is on learning new strategies to handle anger, rebuild connections, and make day-to-day life more manageable.
How Tova uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and working from the client's priorities. It helps when someone wants a respectful, collaborative process that centers their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems. It involves practical exercises and homework to try new responses and is often helpful for anger connected to anxiety or depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods together. That way the plan evolves based on what helps most in sessions and between meetings.
