This webinar will provide practical, step-by-step, cognitive and behavioural approaches for understanding and treating depression and anxiety-related conditions. These conditions include anxiety disorders (e.g., panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias), obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and illness anxiety.

Both disorder-specific and transdiagnostic approaches will be covered in this webinar. Strategies to be discussed include cognitive strategies (e.g., Socratic questioning, behavioural experiments, imagery-based approaches), behavioural strategies (e.g., exposure therapy, behavioural activation, problem solving, relaxation training, social skills training), acceptance-based behavioural treatment (e.g., mindfulness), strategies for resolving ambivalence (e.g., motivational interviewing), and case formulation.

Attendees will learn about both well-established strategies and emerging treatments as well as approaches for adapting treatments across cultures, across the lifespan, and for virtual delivery. Attendees will also receive a detailed handout and comprehensive list of recommended readings.

At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will be better able to —

• Describe cognitive and behavioral factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety, depression, and related disorders.
• Describe a range of cognitive strategies for treating anxiety, depression, and related problems.
• Describe how exposure therapy can be used to treat a range of anxiety-based disorders.
• Describe several behavioral strategies for treatment anxiety, depression, and related problems, including behavioral activation, problem solving, relaxation-based strategies, and social skills training.
• Describe the use of mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches for treating anxiety, depression, and related problems.
• Describe strategies for dealing with resistance during CBT.
• Describe how case formulation can be used to plan CBT interventions.
• Describe the use of transdiagnostic treatments for anxiety-related disorders and depression.
