Telehealth Certification Institute

What sits at the intersection of evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and telemental health? It is challenging for clinicians to juggle the legal, ethical, and best practice considerations for clients who have survived trauma, especially when navigating telehealth considerations. The good news is, we can offer evidence-based and trauma-informed therapy from a cognitive-behavioral perspective via telehealth!

This program is for therapists, counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, school counselors, and any mental health professional who work with survivors of trauma and use telehealth to connect with their clients. This is an intermediate course, so participants are expected to come with basic knowledge of laws and ethics around telehealth, trauma, and cognitive behavioral therapy. This program will enhance this knowledge and provide current information about the research around telehealth, CBT, and trauma-informed care. It will also provide information about the different components of trauma-informed care with CBT interventions.

When you finish this course, you will have a wide variety of specific CBT-based interventions that you can implement via telehealth with a trauma-informed perspective. Since trauma-informed care requires flexibility, you will have the knowledge to tweak each intervention based on the client’s needs and history. Learn the current research, laws, and ethics codes that inform trauma and telehealth.

This course provides 6+ hours of video training, a post-test and an evaluation.

• Collaboratively develop interventions and treatment plans with clients that meet their unique needs and preferences.
