About Bruce
Dr. Bruce Pedigo is a licensed clinician who focuses on relationship and family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, trauma, anxiety, and parenting challenges. He holds a Doctorate in Child, Youth, and Family Studies and brings four decades of practice to his work. He is credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida. Dr. Pedigo speaks English.
He approaches sessions with a direct, compassionate style. He listens for each person's story and helps people name what matters to them. He emphasizes repairing relationships and restoring personal balance when life feels fractured.
In work with children and adolescents he considers broader family dynamics rather than focusing on symptoms alone. That perspective extends to adoption and foster care concerns and to attachment-related difficulties. He also supports people facing mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes.
Dr. Pedigo uses a mix of approaches to match the situation at hand. Expect practical problem-solving, skill-building, and attention to emotions and relationships. He centers sessions on listening, collaboration, and helping clients try small, doable changes between meetings.
Across his career he has combined social work and marriage-and-family therapy perspectives. This background informs his view that lasting change often involves restoring connections, clarifying roles, and helping people develop healthier patterns with those they care about.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people name attachment patterns, practice new responses, and work on safer, steadier relationships over time.Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients find their own direction. This approach suits people who want a respectful space to sort out values, decisions, and emotional priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift as needs change during counseling.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments or check in during transitions.
