Please note: The live webinar on November 20, 2025, is the French version of the August 5, 2025, webinar of the same title. You can only earn CE once for this course, whether you watch the webinar in English or French. Dans ce webinaire, nous explorerons les applications cliniques de la science de l'attachement en thérapie individuelle centrée sur l’émotion (TCÉ-I) développé par la Dre Susan Johnson. Un aperçu de l'attachement tel qu'il s'applique à la conceptualisation de cas cliniques mènera à une exploration de la structure du modèle TCÉ et des interventions spécifiques appliquées dans le travail auprès d’adultes souffrant d'anxiété. Il s'agira d'explications détaillées sur les mouvements thérapeutiques qui composent ce que l'on appelle le « tango à la TCÉ », ainsi que de vignettes cliniques. In this Webinar, we will explore the clinical applications of attachment science in individual therapy according to the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model developed by Dr. Susan Johnson. An overview of attachment as it applies to clinical case conceptualization in will lead into an exploration of the structure of the EFT model and the specific interventions applied in work with adult individuals with anxiety. This will feature detailed explanations of the therapeutic moves that comprise what is known as the “EFT Tango,” along with clinical vignettes.

The perceptions and experiences of retirement by psychologists have not been given much attention in either study or theory. This webinar summarizes cross-cutting observations of retirement stories collected by Rodney R. Baker and Patrick H. DeLeon from psychologists who described their retirement experiences in ten APA annual meeting symposia for different APA divisions from 2014 through 2025. This program is *not* offered for continuing education.

Dr. Abramowitz and Dr. Jacoby will provide a clear and practical overview of the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of adult OCD using evidence-based approaches, particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP). They will cover strategies for treatment planning, optimizing exposure therapy using an inhibitory learning approach, and how to address common challenges that arise in therapy. Drs. Abramowitz and Jacoby will also explore how to tailor treatment by integrating acceptance-based strategies and involving family members.

Telepsychology has become an essential part of practice, but navigating its ethical and risk management challenges requires going beyond checklists and simple compliance. This workshop invites psychologists to view telepractice through an ecosystem lens—a dynamic, interconnected system where laws, technology, client needs, cultural contexts, and emerging regulations all interact. Rather than treating these domains in isolation, we will explore how shifts in one area ripple outward, creating both risks and opportunities for ethical practice. Participants will gain a systems-level perspective on the current telepsychology landscape, while also engaging with applied tools to support ethical and risk-managed judgment.

Circadian rhythms are increasingly implicated in numerous mental health disorders including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and OCD. Effective treatments exist for regularizing and optimizing circadian rhythmicity, which can have positive effects on mental health outcomes and quality of life. Dr. Elaine Boland will review the current evidence on the relationship of circadian rhythms and mental health, identify the various ways that circadian dysregulation can manifest in individuals with mental health conditions, and discuss treatment pathways including collaboration with behavioral sleep medicine specialists as well as techniques for integrating circadian knowledge into clinical practice.

Dr. Tyrel Starks will discuss essential aspects of the theory and practice of motivational interviewing (MI) with couples. In many ways, MI with couples draws upon elements of established MI practice, such as MI spirit, processes, and skills like OARS, that will be familiar to any experienced practitioner. At the same time, working with a couple means forming an alliance with both of the partners individually as well as with the couple as a whole. It also involves allowing partners to speak to one another and helping them to communicate more effectively than they might on their own. Dr. Starks will discuss how established MI practices are adjusted in response to these considerations.

Dr. Sarah Burgamy will focus on the intersection of health care and sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Specifically, she will explore this intersectionality in light of how clinical approaches to health and wellness may differ in gender and sexual orientation diverse people. Mental health providers will learn a functional way to approach patients inclusive of cisgender women, transgender and gender diverse (TGD) assigned female at birth (AFAB) individuals with respect to many aspects of health care. Finally, Dr. Burgamy will explore considerations of sexual orientation and diverse relational orientations as they apply to speaking to patients about health and wellness (e.g., family planning, health of sex-specific organs, care for medical conditions such as breast/chest and gynecological cancers in traditional women’s health settings, and culturally competent aspects of making health care referrals). She will highlight case examples of effective clinical and collaborative strategies for mental health providers to improve the health and wellbeing of cisgender women as well as people who are transgender and gender diverse AFAB people.

Dr. Helen L. Coons will review ten clinical strategies to promote health and well-being in women across the lifespan. While profoundly resilient, women all too often cope with undertreated complex and interacting physical conditions, anxiety, insomnia, relentless fatigue, depression, trauma, work-place discrimination, and caregiver burden among other determinants of poor health and mental health. These challenges are even more common in persons from minoritized and marginalized communities. Dr. Coons will discuss robust treatment and prevention interventions aimed at supporting women’s physical, psychological, relational, sexual, and economic health.

Women’s Health Across the Lifespan: Translating Research to Clinical Practice to Promote Health and Wellness focuses on translating evidence-based research into clinical practice to promote and address women’s health across the lifespan. This program, developed in collaboration with Helen L. Coons, PhD, offers participants the opportunity to earn up to 22 CEs. Each session focuses on a specific area of women’s health, offering insights and practical tools for psychologists. This unique opportunity to advance your expertise in women’s health features dynamic speakers with expertise in sex and gender aspects of women’s health who will translate cutting-edge research and guidelines on biomedical, psychosocial, behavioral, and sociocultural aspects of women’s health and wellness for your practice. Case examples will highlight clinical strategies to promote wellness in women from a variety of communities and identities. Presenters will also discuss best practices for communicating with interprofessional women’s health care providers and settings.

Based in the revolutionary science of attachment theory and evidence-based emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Jennine Estes Powell will provide an effective, research-based road map for helping high-conflict couples break free from painful and destructive habits—and will help attendees uncover the root cause of conflicts that you will likely encounter in therapy sessions, both with individuals and with couples. She will provide simple strategies for creating an emotionally secure environment, as well as tips for managing triggers, de-escalating arguments, and cultivating a real and lasting connection. Jennine Estes Powell will focus on tangible tools and tips for what to do in the moment when things can escalate in a therapy session with high-conflict couples, and will also address 'self of the therapist' themes and how to cultivate a healing environment in therapy sessions.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, with profound impact on their life beyond physical health, including mental health, body image, career, and relationships. Dr. Kathleen Ashton will focus on the latest research in psychosocial oncology and best practices in treatment of patients affected by breast cancer. The psychological needs of diverse patients will be discussed, including those with hereditary risk, in active treatment, in survivorship, or with metastatic breast cancer, as well as patients from BIPOC and LGBTQ+ populations. Dr. Ashton will also include case discussions and interactive clinical application exercises.

Chronic health conditions, which become more prevalent with age, affect more than 38% of women in the United States. Women’s distinct physiology and the impact of adverse life experiences contribute to the higher prevalence and severity of these conditions. Drs. Kathleen Brown and Jennifer Kelly will explore the reasons behind these patterns and offer practical strategies for practitioners to alleviate suffering and enhance wellness.

Health psychologists need a deep understanding of women’s sexual health across the lifespan to address its complex biological, psychological, relational, and sociocultural dimensions. Dr. Stephanie Buehler will discuss an inclusive framework that explores cultural and systemic factors that shape sexual health, including the experiences of LGBTQ+ women and those from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. She will also discuss practical, evidence-based strategies to integrate culturally responsive and affirmative approaches into practice. Through case examples and actionable insights, Dr. Buehler will empower psychologists to assess, intervene, and advocate for women’s sexual well-being.

Improving sexual functioning for neurodivergent clients is possible. Dr. Lyne Piché will explore clinical features specific to clients who present with ADHD and sexual issues. She will discuss interventions that can improve sexual health for individuals in the ADHD community and strategies to address common ADHD struggles with sexuality such as difficulties with transitions, sexual impulsivity, sensory issues, and interoceptive awareness.
