About This Course

Learn at your own pace. Welcome to our On-Demand Professional OCD Training Series.

Join Dr. Stacey Dobrinsky, Director of Training at Anxiety Institute, for a comprehensive 4-part series that builds on foundational knowledge of exposure response prevention (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), diving deeper into practical techniques and concepts to enhance treatment efficacy. Participants will refine their ERP skills while learning to address more complex client presentations and integrate additional therapeutic models. Key topics include reducing familial accommodation, creating tailored exposures (cognitive and interoceptive), applying inhibitory learning models, and adding acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) into ERP treatment.

This training is designed for clinicians who have completed the ERP Foundations course or have a basic understanding of ERP and are looking to expand their expertise. The course consists of four 1-hour sessions, focusing on the practical application of advanced ERP techniques for OCD treatment. CE credits are available for mental health professionals, including psychologists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.

Learning Objectives

  • Educate families about OCD and engage them in reducing accommodation behaviors.
  • Differentiate between habituation and inhibitory learning, applying these concepts effectively in therapy.
  • Integrate ACT principles into ERP to improve outcomes for clients with OCD.
