About Tova
Tova Pete is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on men's wellbeing alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and parenting strain. Her style is open and collaborative, and she aims to create a respectful, honest space for people to talk through what matters to them.
She uses a person-centered outlook that keeps the client's priorities first. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding what a person wants to change. From there she blends practical tools with careful conversation to build a plan that fits each person’s life.
Tova often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT-informed skills to handle intense emotions. She also uses mindfulness and motivational techniques to help people stay focused and take steady steps forward. These methods are adapted to the situation rather than applied in the same way for everyone.
Her background includes work across a broad range of concerns such as trauma, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses more specific themes like attachment wounds, codependency, blended family challenges, and body image struggles.
Tova practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and works with each person to tailor goals and strategies. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person. The therapist listens first and helps people name goals, then shapes sessions around those priorities. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, parenting strain, and working through life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build safer habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and managing ADHD-related challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are helpful for anger, intimacy problems, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. Changes are made over time based on what is working, so treatment stays aligned with what the person wants.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking.
