About Tova
Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a person-centered way of working. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. She also helps with relationship and parenting tensions, grief, trauma, career strain, and ADHD-related challenges.
Tova draws from practical therapies that focus on what helps most in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and direct. She listens for what matters to each person, and then builds a plan together to try in between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach mixes client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit the person’s goals.
Over 11 years of work in Texas give her experience with common real-world problems like parenting stress, codependency, body image concerns, and divorce-related issues. She also supports people coping with abandonment wounds, attachment struggles, and family-of-origin patterns. Tova aims to make therapy practical and straightforward.
She speaks plain language, helps set short-term goals, and checks progress together. If someone wants clear steps to reduce reactivity, improve communication, or handle major life changes, she offers structured support.

Online approaches that teach emotion and behavior skills
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's concerns and goals. It begins by listening closely and shaping a plan together so sessions match what the person most wants to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought patterns that lead to distress and then tests different behaviors and coping strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and practical skills for handling intense feelings and improving communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Clients help set goals and choose which skills or techniques to prioritize during sessions.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice-only contact. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or between-session encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while focusing on real-life changes.
