About David
David Yadush is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in California with eight years of experience. He works with adults who feel stuck after life changes, including people questioning identity, coping with mood disorders, or navigating career and relationship shifts. He also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to caregiving or work.
He focuses on LGBTQ-affirming care and helps people talk through gender dysphoria, sexuality questions, and social anxiety. Sessions often include practical steps to manage symptoms of bipolar disorder and other mood conditions. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and those carrying guilt or compassion fatigue.
In session he uses a mix of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations aim to understand what matters to the person and then test small, doable changes to improve daily functioning. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and momentum when clients feel stuck.
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. That perspective can make it easier to decide what to try next when facing major transitions. Expect a practical focus on concrete steps, with attention to feelings, values, and strengths.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit
David uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what matters to the individual. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can clarify priorities and values, which is useful when deciding what to try next.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes by testing small behavioral experiments and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness techniques are added to help people notice habits of thought and bodily stress. These simple practices can reduce reactivity and make day-to-day choices feel more manageable during transitions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and adjust approaches as work progresses. Clients set priorities and the therapist suggests concrete steps to try between sessions.
