Description:
Anxiety disorders and depression are two of the most common types of mental illnesses (Bandelow et al., 2017; Eilert et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2017). Additionally, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, adults in the United States have reported symptoms of both anxiety and depression at more than three times the rate than prior to 2020 (Twenge & Joiner, 2020).
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered the gold standard for treating both anxiety disorders and depression (Bandelow et al., 2017). CBT has repeatedly been shown to reduce symptoms for a variety of anxiety disorders (Carpenter et al., 2018) and depression (Lepping et al., 2017) and is effective even when patients are resistant to pharmacological interventions (Nakagawa et al., 2017).
In this training, participants will review DSM-5 symptoms for anxiety disorders and depression and learn how to treat these conditions using CBT strategies. Participants will learn the basic implementation of CBT as well as the different challenges and methods associated with treating anxiety disorders and depression, respectively.

Cognitive Behavior Institute is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Cognitive Behavior Institute maintains responsibility for content of this program.
Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs. For professionals outside the state of Pennsylvania, you must confirm with your specific State Board that APA approved CE's are accepted towards your licensure requirements. The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
