Treating trauma is never one-size-fits-all—and when sessions move online, the risks and responsibilities only grow. Trauma survivors require care that is not only evidence-based but also attuned to their safety, triggers, and context—and telehealth changes how we deliver that care. How can clinicians ensure their interventions are still effective, ethical, and client-centered in a virtual setting?
Whether you’re new to telehealth or striving to enhance your current practice, this course equips you with targeted strategies to address the real-world challenges clinicians face when delivering trauma-focused CBT through virtual care.
Dr. Amy Marschall, Psy.D., brings her expertise as a licensed psychologist, certified telemental health provider, and trauma-informed care specialist to this training. With a clinical focus on children, adolescents, neurodiversity, ADHD, and trauma, she offers practical, evidence-based solutions shaped by years of telehealth experience in both rural and underserved settings.
Dr. Marschall’s teaching approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply informed by lived clinical realities. Through engaging self-paced content, she bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and day-to-day therapeutic application—empowering participants to adapt interventions for each client’s unique trauma history and needs.
This course examines ethical and legal considerations for trauma-focused therapy via telehealth, outlines how to determine client appropriateness for virtual services, and presents adaptable cognitive-behavioral techniques for trauma survivors. Topics include psychoeducation, affective identification, cognitive distortions, safety planning, collaborative treatment planning, and more—all tailored for virtual care delivery.
