Build confidence and strengthen your core therapeutic skills. This beautifully designed foundational CBT training gives you a clear framework for structured, purposeful sessions that support lasting, meaningful change for your clients.

Whether you’re new to CBT or looking to build on your skills, this course provides a research-based framework for working with distress. You’ll learn how to support others (and yourself) through difficult emotions, stuck patterns, and unhelpful thinking. Whether you’re aiming to grow as a practitioner, shift your own mindset, or make a greater impact, this training gives you the skills and tools to achieve it. You’ll learn to think like a CBT clinician, structure sessions with confidence, and use practical strategies with purpose.

And it’s not just what you learn but how you learn it. With lessons that are clear, engaging, and easy to absorb, you’ll stay focused and avoid overwhelm. You’ll leave with practical skills you can use immediately and the confidence to use them well.

By the end of this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Structure sessions using the CBT model

  • Use core CBT techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and shift unhelpful patterns

  • Identify and work with the thoughts, behaviors, and emotional processes that drive distress

  • Develop case formulations that guide clear and effective therapy

  • Integrate mindfulness, emotion regulation, and other third-wave strategies

  • Use CBT with both structure and sensitivity

There are 12 CE/CME credits available (see Learner Notification).
