Why Choose Us?

Why Choose Our Certificate in Anxiety Diagnosis & Treatment?

Anxiety is part of the human experience, and in normal doses it can be adaptive – a temporarily elevated state of mind (and body) to help us adequately address stressful situations toward safe resolution. But, when intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear occur with everyday situations and begin to interfere with daily living, anxiety becomes maladaptive – a marker of mental disease. It is comorbid with many other psychological conditions (e.g. depression, trauma, eating disorders), and it is arguably the most common presenting concern in the world of outpatient therapy today. Anxiety has become a first world epidemic and a hallmark of our modern industrial complex. Because it is such a common thread that runs through the collective center of modern mental illness, it is critical that all mental health clinicians obtain comprehensive and in-depth training in its diagnosis and treatment.

 

This comprehensive anxiety and OCD certificate program provides you with practical knowledge of the neural mechanisms and various environmental drivers of anxious distress you can easily understand and apply in all phases of therapy. This clinical training program is skills-intensive and contains everything you need to incorporate the newest and most effective evidence-based anxiety treatments in use today by top specialists in the field. You can do it in about 30 self-paced hours, and this certificate program does not require that you pay money over and over just to keep your certificate “current.” We believe that when you’ve gained these practical diagnosis and treatment skills, you don’t lose them after one year, or five years. Just as you don’t have to earn your degree over and over, practical therapy skills and clinical competence are improved over time, not lost, so long as you continue to practice these skills and seek education and consultation when appropriate. If you find that you’re getting a little rusty, or feeling a little tentative, we welcome you to attend our group consultations (up to 4 for FREE!), retake one or more of your enrolled on-demand program courses at no additional cost, or register for additional courses in our live or home study catalog. Individual consultation sessions are also available with an anxiety expert if you’d like some more individualized help.

 

When you earn your Certificate in Anxiety & OCD Diagnosis & Treatment, it becomes a signal to potential clients (and employers) that you’re ready and excited to help them identify anxious triggers, manage episodes and compulsions with adaptive coping, reduce worry and panic, repair relationships, and ultimately change their relationship with anxiety! And because the certificate doesn’t expire, you don’t have to worry about anyone telling you to stop listing it on your website, directory listings, etc.

We’re eager to help you start your anxiety and OCD learning adventure! If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at cc@onlinececredits.com.
