About Robert
Robert Pedevillano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. He relies on practical, talk-based work to help people move past problems that get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, setting realistic goals, and building skills that can be used right away.
He often uses client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s priorities and point of view. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in his work to help spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is also part of his approach for learning emotional regulation and coping skills. Robert has worked in independent practice, hospitals, community mental health centers, and employee assistance programs. That background informs how he helps people handle work challenges, manage difficult relationships, and recognize strengths they can use in daily life.
He combines real-world experience with steady support. In sessions he is warm and direct. He listens first, then points out blind spots that may be holding someone back.
Together with each person he sets practical, achievable objectives based on their needs and abilities. People meet him to address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, grief, sleep trouble, career challenges, ADHD, and other areas listed in his specialties. The work is collaborative and focused on clear next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Robert uses Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s goals and perspective, supporting individuals to lead the way in what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, helps teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work together with clients to choose which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options allow ongoing work between appointments and flexible ways to check in when life gets in the way of in-person visits. For many people, the variety of formats helps maintain momentum and practice new skills in real situations.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
