Best Practices in Anxiety Management (2HR)
This engaging and practical continuing education webinar will explore evidence-based best practices for managing anxiety in clinical settings. Clinicians will deepen their understanding of the neurobiology of anxiety and how it manifests in different contexts. The training will provide an integrative overview of current gold-standard approaches—including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic strategies—while also highlighting therapeutic presence and the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance. Emphasis will be placed on tailoring interventions to individual clients, addressing co-occurring conditions, and supporting long-term regulation and resilience.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Identify at least three evidence-based therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety and describe their core principles.
- Apply strategies for tailoring anxiety interventions to meet the unique needs of diverse clients, including those with comorbid conditions.
- Describe techniques for integrating cognitive, behavioral, somatic, and mindfulness-based interventions to support clients in managing anxiety symptoms.
