About Tovah
Tovah Allen is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and major life changes.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical strategies. Tovah uses approaches that focus on the person's goals and strengths. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what helps over time.
Her work often centers on everyday problems that wear people down. That includes managing worry, improving communication, dealing with abandonment or attachment issues, and navigating blended family or caregiver stress. She also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, aging, cancer, and separation or divorce.
Tovah draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the person's lead. She applies cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Mindfulness practices are used to help regulate emotion and attention.
Sessions include focused planning and concrete steps to test between-session changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are added when people want to set short-term goals and boost readiness for change. The aim is clear, manageable work that fits into daily life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Many of the methods she uses adapt well to remote work. Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on the person's immediate concerns and goals, with the therapist following the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes between sessions to see what helps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
