About

Dr. Bruce Pedigo holds a Doctorate with a specialization in Child, Youth, and Family Studies and brings forty years of clinical experience to his work. He has broad experience with all client populations and has developed particular expertise in child, adolescent, couples, and family concerns.

Dr. Pedigo assesses and treats a range of issues commonly seen in younger clients and families, including ADD/ADHD, developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, conduct disorders, obsessive-compulsive and generalized anxiety, and depressive disorders.

He believes child and adolescent challenges seldom occur in isolation but are often linked to strains within family relationships. For that reason he focuses on interventions that address the needs of individual family members and the family system as a whole, aiming to promote relational reconciliation and personal restoration.

One of his core values is a sincere desire to hear each person’s story. He emphasizes that every individual deserves to be listened to and that their thoughts and opinions matter in the therapeutic process.

Dr. Pedigo’s practice is guided by a commitment to compassionate care and clinical best practices. He is licensed in Florida as a clinical social worker and also as a marriage and family therapist. He is also a member of the International Trauma Therapists Association.

His work is informed by a Christian worldview centered on his relationship with Jesus Christ, and he approaches clients with genuine compassion and empathy. He believes people seeking counseling want a therapist who is authentic, present, and competent to help them move through difficult situations toward healthier outcomes.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For a wide range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life transitions - evidence shows that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.

One key benefit is greater flexibility. Individuals can connect with their therapist in the format that fits their comfort and schedule, whether that is a video session, a phone call, a live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into daily life.

Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. The approach allows many people to access consistent, professional support without sacrificing quality of care.
