Foundational CBT

Build confidence and gain practical therapeutic skills. This beautifully designed foundational training helps you become the kind of therapist who uses CBT with structure, intention, and clinical skill—creating lasting, meaningful change for your clients.

Whether you’re new to CBT or looking to strengthen your core skills, this course gives you a clear, research-based framework for working with distress—and supporting others (and yourself) through difficult emotions, stuck patterns, and unhelpful thinking. Whether you’re looking to grow as a practitioner, shift your own mindset, or make a greater impact in the lives of others, this course helps you do just that—with purpose, care, and practical tools that truly work. You’ll learn how to think like a CBT clinician, structure sessions with confidence, and use practical strategies with intention and clarity.

And it’s not just what you learn—it’s how you learn it. Each lesson is clear, engaging, and easy to absorb, so you stay focused, avoid overwhelm, and actually enjoy the process. You’ll leave with skills you’ll 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 driving distress

• Develop case formulations that guide clear, effective therapy

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

• Deliver CBT with flexibility, warmth, and clinical precision
