Dr. Bruce Pedigo

Dr. Bruce Pedigo is a licensed clinician with 40 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and addiction. He uses a straightforward, compassionate style and listens closely to each person’s story. He works with concerns that touch family life, parenting, attention differences, and mood disorders.

He practiced as both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida. He approaches problems by looking at relationships and how they affect individual struggles. For many clients he focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and restoring healthier patterns at home.

Dr. Pedigo emphasizes hearing each person and treating their experience as unique. He often helps people understand how family dynamics contribute to issues such as ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, anxiety, or depression. Sessions aim to create clearer understanding and practical steps forward.

His work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are used to address things like anger, grief, intimacy challenges, and coping with life changes.

Clients who choose him can expect direct, empathetic conversation and an effort to include relevant family patterns where helpful. He brings decades of experience and a values-informed approach while focusing on realistic goals and problem solving.

How his approaches help in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, and repetitive relationship patterns by exploring attachment needs and repairing communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping skills by teaching practical tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That choice is guided by what the client wants to change and what feels most comfortable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed and flexible timing around work or school. Because the therapist's specific session formats are not detailed here, confirm the available session options before booking to make sure they meet your needs.
