Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change

Tova often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients explore values, build insight, and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration so the person feels heard and supported while identifying their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or intense reactivity are central concerns. DBT provides concrete skills for tolerating distress and improving relationships while learning to balance acceptance with change. Together these approaches allow for flexible, tailored care that addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tova works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Tova is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, integrate skills into daily life, and receive ongoing support between meetings from licensed professionals and therapists who can meet clients where they are.
