How Dr. Yudis uses therapy approaches online
Dr. Yudis often blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in work with adults. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and helping them organize their thoughts about what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses brief, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.He also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to address attachment and relationship patterns. That approach helps name emotions that drive interactions and then practices different ways of responding to improve closeness or reduce conflict. The therapist treats selection of an approach as collaborative and will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, preferences and everyday demands.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so work or family commitments are easier to manage. The therapist will talk through practical scheduling and the type of sessions that match the client's needs.
