Tova Pete, LPC

Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses clear, collaborative conversations to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and ADHD. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make real changes they can use day to day.

With eleven years of experience, she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered work, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and setting small goals that add up. Tova emphasizes working together to create a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

She listens for how past relationships and attachment patterns show up now, and helps people practice different ways of responding. Practical tools for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with life changes are part of most sessions. She also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation or blended family dynamics.

Tova offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit varying schedules and needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Conversations stay focused on what the person wants to change and the next step forward.

People who come to her often want a respectful, straightforward partner in making lasting adjustments. Tova aims to encourage realistic progress and to help clients practice skills between sessions.

How evidence-informed approaches work online

Tova often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday struggles because it breaks problems into concrete steps to practice.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and tailoring the process to the person’s goals. That approach helps people feel heard and builds a working plan based on their priorities. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when people need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try out techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep and which to change as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions and visible cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or homework support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and steady progress.
