About David
David Yadush helps people who are feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or unsure about identity and life changes. He practices in California and speaks English. David aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who need steady support.
He focuses on LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, sexuality, and social anxiety. He also works with mood disorders such as bipolar, depression, and related issues like paranoia and post-traumatic stress. Other areas he addresses include grief, guilt and shame, career stress, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.
How David works
David uses approaches that match the person’s needs rather than one fixed method. He draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are part of sessions when they help reduce stress and ground attention. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. He can also bring psychodynamic ideas into conversations about patterns that repeat over time.
Across eight years of practice David aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical tools, and steady support. People are encouraged to set the pace and bring what feels most important to them.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions and emphasizes listening and collaboration. Online this looks like the therapist following the client's priorities, asking gentle questions, and helping people clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing small changes in behavior. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress and can be done through exercises, worksheets, and in-session coaching over video or chat.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. Short guided exercises, breathing work, and moment-to-moment noticing are easily shared during a call or via messaging.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and in-the-moment coaching. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
