About Robert
Robert Pedevillano is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. He brings 25 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship stress, grief, and other life challenges. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps people can use right away.
He follows a narrative-informed approach that helps people make sense of their life stories. He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and perspective.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. Robert has worked in independent practice, hospitals, community mental health centers, and employee assistance programs. Those roles shaped his focus on helping people handle work challenges, difficult colleagues, and motivation at work.
He brings examples and skills from those settings into therapy when they fit a person's goals. In sessions he balances a warm, respectful manner with gentle, direct feedback about patterns that might be holding someone back. He helps people set realistic goals based on their strengths and circumstances.
Conversations are aimed at clear next steps rather than theory alone. People who come to him for help with parenting stress, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, or addiction can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and goal planning. His work emphasizes what a person wants to change and how to make steady progress toward it.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Robert directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work fits online
Robert integrates Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try new ways of understanding events. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective, with the therapist listening and reflecting to support their choices. CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and routines and teaches practical exercises to change behavior and mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the focus as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing expressions. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can help with brief check-ins, skill practice, or when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
