CBT for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia
Panic disorder and agoraphobia are two highly comorbid anxiety disorders that respond well to exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Papola et al, 2022; Pompoli et al, 2018). This presentation will review diagnostic criteria for both disorders, including possible differences in clinical presentation related to diverse identities (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). Then, the construct of anxiety sensitivity and its relation to panic and agoraphobia will be discussed. Last, cognitive behavioral interventions for these diagnoses will be introduced, with a particular focus on in vivo and interoceptive exposures.

Integrative Treatment for Co-occurring Challenges in Tourette’s
Though Tourette’s is commonly thought of for its tics, there are many other co-occurring challenges owing to its unique neurology (Cravedi et al, 2017). The current webinar will instruct clinicians in identification and assessment of common co-occurring challenges and application of this knowledge to the treatment of patients with Tourette’s. Particular focus will be given to the phenomenon of intense emotionality in individuals with Tourette’s (Sukhodolsky et al., 2003; Sukhodolsky et al.,, 2009; Leclerc et al., 2011; Conte et al.,, 2020). Techniques discussed will involve integration of competing response training with acceptance-oriented techniques to improve the ability of patients to adhere to and complete treatment protocols (Lavoie, Leclerc, & O’Connor, 2013; Franklin et al., 2011; Peterson et al., 2016).

An Introduction to PANS / PANDAS and Psychotherapeutic Intervention
PANS/PANDAS are complex syndrome(s) that produce a rapid onset of a constellation of acute symptoms, including OCD, tics, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms, which have a relapsing-remitting course, and are believed to be the result of autoimmune-induced neuroinflammation. Meeting the medical and psychological needs of a child experiencing suspected PANS / PANDAS can pose significant challenges for both families and for the providers supporting them. This workshop will discuss the phenomenology of these syndromes, consensus guidelines for multidisciplinary diagnostic assessment and treatment, and the role of psychological interventions in the treatment of the presenting symptoms.

An Evidence-Based Overview of Health Anxiety Case Formulation and Treatment Planning
The preoccupation with one’s physical/mental health is more commonly labeled health anxiety. Health anxiety, which affects 4-10% of the population, is typically treated with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is recognized as the leading intervention in this psychiatric condition. Consultation with medical providers, attention to cultural considerations that impact health disparities, and recognizing differences between psychological, physical, and genuine medical symptoms is critical for success treatment planning. This presentation will review differential diagnostic considerations, developing a case formulation, and learning about leading evidenced-based interventions that can be used to help manage and treat health anxiety presentations.

Contemporary Practices in the Treatment of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors 2024
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are repetitive self-grooming behaviors, such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin picking), that fall within the scope of OCD and related disorders. Although BFRBs are common, affecting as many as 1 in 20 individuals, accessing accurate information and evidence-based treatment resources can be challenging. This workshop will provide up-to-date comprehensive evidence-based clinical training in the diagnosis,cross-cultural phenomenology, multifactorial self-reinforcing behavioral conceptualization, and current empirical review of the treatment of BFRBs. In-depth instruction will be provided in delivering integrative behavioral therapy (IBT) which entails a unified treatment protocol utilizing the full range of scientifically-supported psychological interventions to target under-addressed challenges of BFRBs and maximize/maintain treatment success.
