About Tova
Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and ADHD. She also focuses on family-related topics like blended family issues, family of origin problems, and communication difficulties.
Tova uses a person-centered way of working. She keeps sessions collaborative and direct. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than jargon. She aims to create honest discussions where goals are set together.
Her work draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. In session she helps people notice patterns, try small behavioral experiments, and build day-to-day coping tools. Motivational interviewing is also used when people want help clarifying goals and making changes.
People often come for help with parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, anger, or navigating separation and blended family transitions. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and caregiver stress. Sessions tend to focus on how problems show up in everyday life and what can be changed in small, concrete ways.
Tova asks clients to be active partners in planning treatment. She checks in about what is working and adjusts approaches as needed. That collaborative rhythm guides longer-term work and shorter problem-focused work alike.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Tova commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior skills. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully and letting the client's goals guide the work; it helps when someone wants a collaborative, respectful pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offer step-by-step ways to test new actions; this is helpful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical behavior therapy skills teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try approaches together. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels realistic for daily life.
The practical value of online sessions is fitting counseling into a busy schedule. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, take shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, and use techniques between sessions that relate directly to home life. Licensed professionals can work with clients to shape a rhythm of sessions that fits work, parenting, and other daily responsibilities.
