Dr. Youdin practices existential psychotherapy. This type of therapy focuses on one's life experience coupled with one or more themes, be it a struggle with happiness vs. unhappiness, interpersonal relationships, life vs. death, sexual expression vs. asexuality, or any other life dilemma. This type of therapy focuses on a person's issues and conflicts that are derived from interpersonal experiences in his or her environment, the interpretation a person makes of these experiences, and a person's ability to foresee a future. Dr. Youdin envisions a person's ability to shape his or her life as a balancing between one's choices and intentions with one's heredity and environment.
