Tova Pete, LPC

Tova Pete is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She offers a warm, collaborative style that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and respectful.

She uses client-centered work to meet each person where they are. That means conversations focus on the client's goals and values, not a fixed script. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and build stronger coping skills.

Tova draws on mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding reasons and momentum for change. Together these methods support work on grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress, and feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Her sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Clients can expect to set clear goals, try skills between meetings, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The focus is on small steps that fit into everyday life.

People reach out for help with midlife transitions and coping with big life changes as well. Tova emphasizes honest conversation and steady support while people navigate these shifts.

How these approaches guide online therapy choices

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps when people want a respectful space to figure out goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and goal-setting, then introducing CBT or DBT skills as needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between appointments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work or caregiving, work on brief skills between meetings, and continue therapy during life transitions without traveling to an office.
