Pedigo approaches therapy believing that individual difficulties often reflect relational patterns. He emphasizes listening to each person’s story and works collaboratively to repair relationships and support personal restoration.

His practice reflects client-centered respect while integrating evidence-informed strategies to address symptoms and improve daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current emotional responses; it helps people understand relational triggers and work toward healthier connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors by building concrete coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance, offering tools for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and improved attention.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist engages clients collaboratively to determine which methods best fit their goals and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust techniques so the work remains relevant to the client’s needs.

Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility in how sessions are conducted. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when travel or life events intervene, and allow people to access licensed professionals from their own location. The format supports ongoing skill practice and regular check-ins while allowing the therapist to apply attachment, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness strategies in ways that suit each client.
