Trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Telehealth
Enroll in the Online Self-Study course and complete it at your own pace.
6 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians upon completion.
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.
