She centers sessions on the person in front of her and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful.

Background and approach
Sessions often blend client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when they fit the situation. People come to her for many reasons, including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.
She also supports clients with attention-related challenges and those working through attachment or abandonment worries and family-of-origin issues. Tova emphasizes a collaborative plan. She listens, helps set realistic goals, and teaches practical strategies you can use between sessions.
Expect clear suggestions, short-term skills practice, and honest conversation about progress and next steps. Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to create a space where people can be honest and take small steps toward change.
If you want a counselor who balances listening with skill-building, Tova offers steady guidance from a person-centered perspective.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person and their priorities at the center of work. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the client, helping people name goals and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and practical coping skills for intense feelings and relationship difficulties and can be paired with other approaches when needed.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress unfolds. That collaboration helps pick strategies that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing skills practice, or a shorter way to report progress between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
