Tova Pete

Tova Pete is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and ADHD. She presents an open, collaborative style and aims to build honest, respectful working relationships with each person she sees. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and on practical steps that make a difference day to day.

With 11 years of experience, she draws on a mix of proven therapies to match what a person needs. Sessions often include clear goal-setting, skill practice, and problem-solving for common struggles like anger, grief, or career stress. Tova pays attention to how attachment, abandonment worries, and family of origin issues show up in current life challenges.

She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies to help people change patterns that no longer work. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to build self-awareness and motivation for change. The focus is on practical tools and steady progress rather than labels or quick fixes.

Tova aims to make therapy a cooperative process. She works with each person to create a plan that fits their goals and pace. People who come to her can expect straightforward communication, concrete skills, and attention to how past relationships shape present struggles.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including intimacy issues, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, codependency, communication problems, blended family issues, and coping with life changes. She welcomes conversations about whether her style fits your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and adapting to each person's needs. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the pace and goals of sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors - which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for strong mood swings and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, and adjust plans as progress and challenges emerge. That decision is guided by the client's goals, preferences, and everyday life demands.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so work and caregiving are easier to manage. Many therapeutic techniques described above transfer well to remote sessions, and she will help tailor exercises and homework to the format you choose.
