Tova Pete, LPC

Tova Pete is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting stress, anger, ADHD, grief, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Tova uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s goals in view. She also draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those strategies fit. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and slowing down patterns that fuel anger or anxiety.

She often helps people untangle family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, and the extra strain caregivers feel. Tova also addresses blended family dynamics, commitment and codependency concerns, body image, and coping after separation or loss. Clients who struggle with control issues or emptiness may work on practical steps to change daily routines and thinking patterns.

Tova’s approach includes mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support small behavior changes. She aims to make therapy collaborative so clients understand why a technique is being used. Progress is tracked through concrete goals rather than vague promises.

People who come with anger that shows up at home or work can expect to practice new ways of responding. Sessions focus on what to try in real situations, how to notice triggers earlier, and how to communicate needs without escalating conflict.
