Dr. Bruce Pedigo, LCSW, LMFT

Dr. Bruce Pedigo is a licensed clinician based in Florida. He holds a Doctorate in Child, Youth, and Family Studies and carries dual credentials as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and a range of parenting and behavioral issues.

He writes and listens to each person's story, and aims to create space where people feel heard. Sessions are framed around restoring relationships and helping individuals move toward practical solutions. He emphasizes straightforward conversation and focused work rather than jargon.

His background includes four decades of clinical experience across many settings. That experience informs an approach that looks at how individual struggles connect with family patterns. He pays attention to attachment, communication problems, and issues that arise after separation or loss.

Dr. Pedigo uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the situation. These include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. He draws on these methods to help with emotion regulation, coping skills, and healthier interactions.

The practice description notes a faith-informed personal outlook rooted in Christian belief. That informs his sense of compassion and his commitment to being authentically present with people.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people map relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and track results between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide whether to rely more on skills practice, exploring family patterns, or a mix of methods.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, homework workbooks, and skill coaching between meetings, which can speed progress when applied consistently.
