Risk Assessment in Virtual Private Practice
Friday, October 9th
12-1:15pm
Risk Assessment in Virtual Private Practice is a one-hour continuing education course designed for NYS-licensed social workers (LMSW and LCSW) navigating the unique clinical and ethical demands of telehealth. Using the high-profile Lindsey Clancy case as a launching point, this course covers the essentials of clinical risk assessment in a virtual setting: how to assess for suicidal ideation, plan, intent, and means; how to distinguish non-suicidal self-injury from suicidal behavior; what a harm-to-others assessment actually looks like and when it is required; how to recognize and respond to psychosis on video; and how to build the emergency protocols every solo practitioner needs before a crisis occurs. You will leave with practical frameworks, validated tools, and a clear understanding of your duty to warn obligations under NYS law. Whether you have been practicing virtually for years or are still finding your footing, this course will sharpen the clinical skills that matter most when the stakes are highest.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy 101
Friday, November 13th
12-1:15pm
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 101 is a one-hour continuing education course designed for therapists who are curious about ACT and ready to explore. ACT is one of the most widely researched and clinically versatile therapies available today, and it offers something distinct from traditional CBT: rather than trying to change the content of unhelpful thoughts, ACT helps clients change their relationship to those thoughts so that feelings and past experiences no longer dictate what they do with their lives. In this accessible introduction, you will learn the theoretical foundations of ACT, the six core processes of the ACT hexaflex model, key metaphors and exercises you can try with clients right away, and how to identify which clients in your practice would benefit most from an ACT approach.
Participants will receive their CE Certificate upon completion and submission of the post-test and evaluation. One CE hour of credit is currently available only to LCSWs and LMSWs. Check back for future updates as we expand our CE offerings.

Foundations, Assessment & Getting Started
This training introduces therapists to the evidence-based framework of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and its application in a virtual private practice setting.
Participants will explore the theoretical underpinnings of CPT, how to conduct trauma-focused PTSD assessments, and deliver Session 1 psychoeducation, all through a telehealth lens. Using a longitudinal case study, therapists will practice setting the virtual frame, starting to identify stuck points, and assigning the Impact Statement homework.
Stuck Points, ABC Worksheets & Challenging Beliefs
Building on Foundations, Assessment & Getting Started, this training guides therapists through the core middle-phase tools of CPT, including the ABC Worksheet, Socratic questioning, the Challenging Questions Worksheet, and the Patterns of Problematic Thinking framework. Participants will learn how to identify and collaboratively challenge stuck points with clients in a virtual setting, balancing protocol fidelity with clinical flexibility and cultural responsiveness. Through case-based discussion, therapists will develop confidence in navigating ambivalence, emotional dysregulation, and slow progress during the heart of CPT treatment.
Trauma Account, Belief Areas & Consolidating Treatment Gains
This training covers the later phase of CPT, including the optional Trauma Account, the five belief area modules (Safety, Trust, Power/Control, Esteem, and Intimacy), and the Final Impact Statement. Participants will learn how to facilitate therapeutic termination in a virtual private practice context, recognize signs of vicarious trauma, and build a sustainable, ethically grounded trauma practice. The session closes with the resolution of the longitudinal case study, offering therapists a full picture of what recovery through CPT can look like for clients.
