This training is designed for providers seeking to strengthen their understanding of evidence-based approaches to treating Anxiety Disorders. Participants will gain an overview of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP), with practical guidance on how to integrate these techniques into their therapeutic practice. Strategies for tailoring interventions to the unique needs of children, adolescents, and their caregivers will also be emphasized, equipping clinicians with concrete skills to promote more effective distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

| Time | Segment / Focus Area | Format & Content |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00 – 0:15 (15 min) | Welcome, Orientation, and Learning Objectives | Lecture + Guided Discussion: Introduce course objectives and the rationale for evidence-based frameworks. Review current prevalence data and discuss why anxiety remains under-treated despite its prevalence. Prompt: “What are the most common anxiety presentations you encounter, and which interventions do you default to?” |
| 0:15 – 0:45 (30 min) | Foundations of Evidence-Based Treatment (EBT) | Didactic Presentation:Define EBTs and differentiate first-line interventions for anxiety disorders. Overview of CBT’s cognitive model and its empirical support. Discuss treatment planning and case conceptualization across GAD, panic disorder, and social anxiety. |
| 0:45 – 1:15 (30 min) | Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Applications | Interactive Lecture + Activity: Review core CBT tools: identifying cognitive distortions, restructuring anxious thinking, and behavioral activation. |
| 1:15 – 1:25 (10 min) | Break | — |
| 1:25 – 1:55 (30 min) | Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills for Anxiety | Lecture + Experiential Practice: Explain how DBT’s emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills complement CBT. |
| 1:55 – 2:25 (30 min) | Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Anxiety and OCD | Lecture + Guided Discussion - Exposure Hierarchy: Review principles of exposure: habituation, inhibitory learning, and expectancy violation. Contrast graded vs. flooding techniques. Activity: Mock exposure hierarchy for a client (e.g., social anxiety or contamination OCD). Discuss clinician anxiety and resistance to exposures. |
| 2:25 – 2:50 (25 min) | Integrating EBTs: Case Formulation and Multimodal Treatment | Case Discussion + Guided Integration: Use a sample client vignette to demonstrate integration of CBT, DBT, and ERP elements. Discuss tailoring interventions to developmental stage, cultural context, and comorbidity. Prompt: “What’s one way you can blend behavioral exposure with emotion regulation in your sessions?” |
| 2:50 – 3:00 (10 min) | Reflection, Resources, and Closing Q&A | Wrap-Up + Q&A: Review key takeaways. |
