About Robert
Robert Pedevillano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and anger. He also works with concerns like addictions, grief, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and career stress.
He uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. That includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are conversational and direct, with practical steps people can try between meetings.
Robert draws on long experience in hospitals, community mental health centers, and employee assistance programs. That background informs how he helps people manage work-related problems, difficult co-workers, and organizational stress. He also focuses on attachment, family of origin issues, codependency, and blended family concerns.
In sessions he listens, points out patterns that may be getting in the way, and helps set realistic goals. He supports people in identifying strengths and small changes they can make. The work often mixes skill building, thinking differently about problems, and telling one’s story in a new way.
People who come for help with anger often want clearer ways to respond, fewer outbursts, or less resentment. Robert aims to break down those goals into manageable steps. He helps track progress and adjust strategies as needs change.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people clarify values and set realistic goals for handling anger, relationships, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions feed each other. It breaks problems into specific patterns and teaches practical skills to respond differently to anger, anxiety, or depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These skills are useful for impulsivity, intense reactions, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Confirm the session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Many people find that focusing on concrete skills and homework between sessions fits well with remote meetings.
