9am - 5pm (EST*)

6 CEUs for LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs


In the face of so much suffering, you must have been wondering why it is that the most glorified evidence-based practices in psychotherapy have still been failing our patients and clients? The answer to this question is that there are some soft skills and secrets of CBT that are to be mastered by us, clinicians.

At this full day, online seminar, we will be using a clinical case, and working with a patient from the beginning of CBT. We'll go from mere information or knowledge to learning; from learning to strategic and tactful implementation; from implementation to skills; from skills to mastery, and from mastery to empowerment and leadership.

Please join us and learn a different way of looking at CBT, of understanding it, and of implementing it.


At the end of this seminar, you will have:

  1. Learned and mastered the less common skills that make the biggest difference in CBT.
  2. Identified how to help the 1/3 of your patients and clients for whom the ordinary CBT skills alone would not be effective.
  3. Mastered Cognitive Restructuring, its 4 steps, and learn how to best tailor them to your style and your patients and clients.
  4. Mastered the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to increase the effectiveness of your work in helping patients and clients.
  5. Learned the principles, techniques, and steps of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
  6. Increased your tools to helping patients and clients with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.


Friends: We look forward to continuing to serve you; so you help cease suffering for our patients and clients; and so you help elevate your agency, yourself, and the field as a whole.


Please note: This is a full-day webinar where all three modules will be presented.

Course Modules that will be covered:

  1. Introduction to CBT
  2. CBT and Its Different Components
  3. CBT and Cognitive Restructuring

HERE'S WHAT OUR ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT SWEET SEMINARS:

"I gained a more in-depth understanding of the CBT Model. This will be helpful in practice. The instructor was very knowledgeable and communicated very well. It was easy to comprehend the concepts presented in the webinar. I really like that the information is useful and practical. I've been using the practical techniques to setting more informed therapeutic boundaries with clients using Socratic Questioning."
- Ondria, LMSW
"I have been able to help clients see different ways to process thoughts and make change."
- Denise, CASAC
"I enjoyed the webinar. Initially linking the fundamentals of behavior was difficult for me, but as the course went on, things really came together. I had not thought about CBT in this way before."
- Kathy, LCSW
"What stood out most for me was that Dr. Sidor was pleasant, seemed happy to teach, and thorough. He did not move on with the topic until it was clear that we understood the concept. His examples and motivating teaching method is an encouragement for me to attend CBT training and I look forward to the next session."
- Josephine, LMHC
"So detailed, organized, and warm. The encouragement and patience of the facilitator is always appreciated."
- Lynne, LCSW-R

There are a handful of states that the NASW does not cover because those states want to maintain their independent authority to approve, or not, providers and courses. In New York State, the Office of Professions controls the approval process. We are an approved provider by the NY State Office of Professions. In other words:

  • In the State of New York, SWEET Institute is approved by the Office of Professions under Dr. Sidor Psychiatric Services as a CEU provider for social workers (#SW-0471) and mental health counselors (#MHC-0127).
  • Our live and self-study webinars are individually approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in 46 additional states. SWEET courses are NOT approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in: Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
