Mastering Telehealth & Anxiety Treatment in the Age of Social Distancing – CATHERINE PITTMAN (Online Course)
Description:
Your clients need you in these times more than ever.
Anxiety is flooding their lives as they worry about loved ones, health, finances, stability and futures.
But your ability to safely and responsibly work with clients in-person has been drastically altered. In many cases, therapy has completely halted for those who desperately need it.
And it could stay that way for days, weeks and possibly months.
If you’ve never worked with telehealth or considered providing distance therapy services, now is the time.
You may have questions…
What are the legal and ethical risks? Is distance therapy even effective? How do I get started?

Filled with best practices, case studies, and treatment adaptations for working virtually, her new intensive online certification training provides the education you need to confidently and competently offer safe, effective telehealth services to your clients — allowing you to work from a variety of settings, including your home or office.
PLUS… Joni has been joined by leading anxiety treatment specialist Catherine M. Pittman, Ph.D., HSPP, for a comprehensive look at how you can use neuroscience to inform why, how and what techniques will stop the symptoms of anxiety — even the tough to treat panic attacks, worry, rumination, nausea, and pounding hearts.
Completely online and self-paced, you can view this comprehensive certification training whenever and wherever the time is right.
Once you complete this training you’ll immediately qualify to become a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider PLUS a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
