About Bruce
Dr. Bruce Pedigo is a Florida-licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 40 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and anger. He sees relationship and intimacy difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and life transitions as well.
He favors straightforward conversation. He listens to each person's story and helps identify patterns that keep problems active. Sessions focus on practical steps - clearer communication, new ways to manage strong emotions, and strategies to reduce daily stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to change unhelpful thinking and to build emotion-regulation skills.
Attachment-based ideas show up in his work when relationship history shapes present reactions. Client-centered habits mean the conversation is shaped around what matters most to the individual in the room. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes used to calm the body and to increase awareness of impulses and urges.
Dr. Pedigo draws on long experience with developmental and behavioral concerns, including ADHD and autism spectrum presentations, and with couples and parenting-related issues. He frames problems as relational and practical, aiming to restore clearer interaction and personal coping rather than offering quick fixes.
He combines clinical experience with personal values that inform his approach. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape reactions now. Online sessions can help people spot recurring interaction habits and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers concrete exercises and homework that translate well to short online check-ins and structured sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match the person's goals, preferences, and daily life. That process may include trying a skill-focused CBT plan or using DBT exercises to manage intense moments, then adjusting as needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the therapist's biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to written exercises or video demonstrations, while others work well in a conversational appointment. Ask about the available session types when you sign up so you know how they will fit into your routine.
