About David
Dr. David Yudis is a Pennsylvania psychologist (PA Psychologist PS009136L) with 20 years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, career questions, parenting, and mood concerns. He frames work with clients around practical change and clearer thinking. He emphasizes how work and life intersect and looks at both areas when problems arise.
He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside client-centered methods and emotionally-focused approaches to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. He also draws on narrative and motivational interviewing ideas to help people reframe stories they tell themselves and find motivation for small changes.
Dr. Yudis trained at the doctoral level with a foundation in psychodynamic ideas about how past experience shapes current behavior. He pairs that background with brief, solution-focused CBT applications when a concrete plan helps. Sessions tend to focus on recognizing unhelpful patterns, testing different responses, and practicing new habits between meetings.
In practice he pays attention to both personal life and workplace dynamics, since the two often affect one another. He helps people clarify goals, improve communication, and manage strong emotions such as anger or intense worry. Practical steps and clear next actions are a common feature of his work.
People who want structured, talk-based support that blends longer-term reflection with action-oriented tools may find his approach useful. He works in Pennsylvania and offers services in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Yudis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with short, practical exercises. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching specific skills and testing new ways of responding in everyday situations.He also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and emotionally-focused work that looks at attachment and emotional responses in close relationships. These approaches help when communication problems, intimacy issues, or commitment concerns are central to the difficulties described.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with the client to choose techniques that match goals and preferences, combining CBT tasks, reflective conversation, and motivational strategies as needed. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. These practical benefits can help clients practice skills in their daily routines without promising a specific format.
