About David
Dr. David Yudis is a Pennsylvania psychologist with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. He brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on what someone wants to change in daily life.
He draws on Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach pairs with client-centered work that keeps the person's goals and values front and center.
Background and approach
He also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to test new ways of thinking and acting when useful. Much of his career has included work in organizational settings, so he often helps people whose work and home lives overlap. He talks with clients about career stress, life purpose, money worries, and how work pressures shape mood and relationships.
Sessions aim to clarify choices and set practical next steps. Dr. Yudis earned a doctoral degree and has long used psychodynamic ideas to understand how past patterns influence present behavior.
He combines that perspective with human-centered practice to attend to the whole person rather than just symptoms. People who come for coaching or therapy can expect a relationship built on trust and collaboration. He encourages increased self-awareness, clearer communication, and small experiments that lead to change.
The work is tailored to each person's goals and paced to their needs.

Online session options
How narrative work and practical approaches translate online
Dr. Yudis uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That work looks at how events are described, finds unhelpful themes, and opens space for new, more helpful stories about identity and purpose. It often helps with relationship patterns, attachment questions, and life purpose concerns.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with active listening and the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used as short, practical tools when needed to test different thoughts and behaviors. Together these approaches aim to be collaborative - the therapist and client decide which tools fit the person's goals and situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, track progress, or use therapy in shorter bursts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
