ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTORS (audio episodes):
Sarah Olivo, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist who believes that empathy, collaboration and a sense of humor are the bases for any good therapy. Sarah is a staunch believer in evidenced-based psychology and has worked diligently to become fluent in many forms of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). In short, Sarah’s approach has rigorous research at its core, and she continually seeks out training opportunities so that she can be on the front lines of the most modern and effective treatments. Sarah brings over 20 years of clinical experience when helping her clients get the changes they want out of their lives, as quickly as possible. Her goal as the Head of Lumate Academy is to help spread CBT far and wide so that children, teens and young adults with less access can start making these changes as well.

Proper knowledge of diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders is essential to creating effective and efficient treatment plans for youth who are seeking treatment. Use of structured and semi-structured diagnostic interviews enhance the validity of diagnoses, and the ADIS-5-C/P is a well-validated and researched semi-structured diagnostic interview for children and adolescents who present with anxiety symptomatology, and it has been used as the diagnostic standard for seminal child anxiety treatment trials. Participants will learn key symptom profiles for each of the childhood anxiety disorders, as well as symptom profiles for disorders that are present in childhood and/or are commonly comorbid with anxiety. They will become familiar with symptom severity ratings as well as methods for ascertaining level of interference and distress for discrete diagnoses with with a child interviewee and parent interviewee(s). Participants will see Dr. Albano role-play common diagnostic scenarios that occur during interviews, methods for appropriately assessing a developmental and clinical timeline, and feedback sessions for children and parents describing results of the intake. Participants will then become familiar with CBT case conceptualization for child and adolescent anxiety, list the key elements of S.M.A.R.T goal setting, and utilize collaborative methods for defining S.M.A.R.T. goals with patients.

Learning Objectives:

List key symptom profiles for anxiety and depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents as defined by DSM-5

Identify the presence of primary and secondary disorders in youth with accuracy and use diagnostic impressions to inform case conceptualization and diagnosis-specific treatment plan

Conduct collaborative treatment and exposure planning using key elements of S.M.A.R.T. goals paired with cognitive behavioral case conceptualization of anxiety disorders
