About Robert
Robert Pedevillano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 25 years of clinical experience. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior therapy principles to help individuals address anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges.
Background and approach
His approach blends practical skills-building with attentive listening to help clients clarify goals and develop concrete strategies for change.
Across work in independent practice, hospitals, community mental health centers, and employee assistance programs, he has supported people dealing with workplace challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting stresses, attention issues, and a wide range of emotional and interpersonal problems.
He aims to be warm and compassionate while offering gentle, constructive feedback about patterns that may impede progress. He helps clients identify their strengths and realistic objectives and collaborates with them to move toward meaningful improvements in day-to-day functioning and relationships.
Combining evidence-based approaches with online options
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many adjustment challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to set their own goals while fostering self-understanding and personal growth. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for managing strong emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and then tailor a mix of methods that fits the individual's needs. This means adapting skills-based interventions, reflective conversation, and practical problem-solving as therapy progresses.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to stay connected from home or work. These formats support continuity of care, flexible scheduling, and a range of ways to engage with therapeutic tools and practice skills between meetings.
