About Tova

Tova Pete is an LPC who uses a collaborative, evidence-informed approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, grief, trauma, and mood difficulties. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other modalities to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect and honesty while tailoring interventions to each person's situation and goals. With 11 years of clinical experience working in Texas, she has supported clients facing issues such as depression, anger, ADHD, intimacy and communication problems, and complex family dynamics.

She also addresses a broad range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and caregiver stress, codependency, body image, divorce and separation, and coping after disasters. Sessions aim to blend skills-based strategies with a client-centered stance so clients can build resilience and clearer direction.

Tova frames therapy as a collaborative process, working with clients to create individualized treatment plans that reflect their priorities and preferences. She welcomes people who are ready to explore change and develop practical tools for coping, growth, and improved relationships.

Evidence-Informed Therapies for Online Care

Tova commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping during transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and goals while the therapist supports their self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she treats selection as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client consider current concerns, personal preferences, and short- and long-term goals to determine which techniques to emphasize, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Texas without traveling, allowing clients to practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
