About David

David Yadush is a licensed therapist practicing in California who focuses on helping people facing a range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

He works with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, career transitions, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue, and offers affirming support for LGBT-related matters and gender dysphoria. Using an approach that blends practical skills and reflective exploration, David emphasizes collaboration to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors, Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting therapeutic environment, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and stress management skills. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform his work when exploring motivation and deeper patterns.

With eight years of clinical experience and credentials as LPCC and LPC, David aims to help clients develop coping strategies, clarify life purpose, and navigate chronic illness or pain when relevant. He provides a supportive space for people to process trauma, reduce social anxiety and paranoia, and move toward clearer goals for wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals.

He also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people develop greater awareness of present-moment experience and reduce reactivity to stress. These approaches can be combined and adjusted over time, and he collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with this clinician aims to provide flexible access to care that fits into varied schedules and lifestyles. The range of formats makes it possible to continue therapeutic work during life transitions, manage ongoing symptoms, and maintain momentum between sessions.
