A Personal Invitation From Lynn Lyons, LICSW
Lynn will show you HOW to break the anxiety cycle

Families spend a great deal of effort looking for the answers to WHY their child has anxiety issues. But productive solutions result from asking HOW: "How do I get my child to school? How do I get myself to do things that make me anxious? How do I handle the way anxiety makes my body feel?"

I'm a HOW therapist who can teach you and your clients what to DO differently. My expert approach will help you and your clients access the internal and external resources they've already developed and create the new ones they need.

From your first session, children and parents will learn skills that boost confidence and foster adaptive thinking and positive results. Now you can be the clinician who can say with confidence, "I can help your child overcome anxiety!"

Here's what you'll learn in this certification training...
Join Lynn for six, step-by-step modules where you'll discover proven strategies to interrupt anxiety's cognitive patterns with simple, process-based strategies. You'll master concrete and often counter-intuitive strategies that normalize worry for families and provide an "umbrella approach" that applies to all anxiety disorders.
Module 1

Anxiety overview and the first steps to a better approach
 
In this module, you'll gain foundational insight about anxiety and its impact on young clients. Learn practical methods to avoid getting trapped in the content of the disorder and understand how some of the things that therapists, parents, and teachers do can actually support the disorder. Additionally, you’ll discover a new, more effective approach for working with anxiety.

Key topics covered in this module include:
 
  1. Understanding how a process-based approach to anxiety works
  2. The patterns of worried families
  3. Four critical concepts that make up the foundation of a skill-based approach
  1. How to avoid mirroring and supporting the anxiety disorder
  2. Case examples and demonstrations
Module 2

Building a better treatment approach, Part I
 
In this module, you'll learn how to help families understand anxiety and worry. You'll begin building an effective strategy for working with anxiety, including how-to expect worry and talk to it, teach clients to get uncomfortable and unsure on purpose, and help clients identify goals. Lynn provides essential insight into:
 
  1. Breaking the anxiety culture — escaping the high demands of school, home, social life
  2. The importance of psychoeducation
  1. Creating a new framework for families to separate from generational anxiety
  2. Recognizing anxiety and interrupting common thought patterns
Module 3

Building a better treatment approach, Part II
 
Continuing from the previous module, this section will offer you additional strategies and tools you need to build a complete anxiety treatment strategy. You'll learn how to:
 
  1. Help young clients connect their worries back to their past successes
  2. Use role playing, experiential learning, and practice to deal with anxiety on a day-to-day basis
  3. Create effective interventions and homework that will teach young clients to overcome worry
  1. Setup successful rewards and consequence strategies
  2. Implement Lynn's favourite assignments for helping kids achieve success in the face of anxiety
Module 4

School accommodations, and working with complicated mind/body issues

Key topics covered in this module include:
 
  1. Effective behavioural plans and goals for classroom success
  2. Case studies and common issues to anticipate within the school setting
  1. Common somatic issues with anxious children (GI issues, insomnia, headaches)
  2. New opportunities to help kids relax
Module 5

Working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
 
OCD creates a skewed view of reality and can impact families for generations. This module demonstrates how to recognize OCD, the common pitfalls of treating OCD in kids, and active strategies to help families.

Key topics covered in this module include:
 
  1. Myths and current research on OCD
  2. The biggest mistakes therapists make with OCD
  3. Diagnosis and misdiagnosis of OCD in young clients

  2. The benefit of direct language and psychoeducation for families

  1. The Executive Overload Model
  2. The importance of prioritizing interventions
  1. What modifications are needed for clients with comorbidity or trauma history
  2. How to leverage the Concept of Differentiation
Next, you'll watch Lynn in action!
You're invited into Lynn's consulting room where you'll see her proven, powerful approaches in action with three never-before-seen video sessions. You'll go on a moment-by-moment journey with Lynn as she applies her interventions with kids and families to overcome anxiety and worry.
In-Session 1

Working with school anxiety, and fears about driving and heights
 
In this first in-session video, you'll see Lynn working with an adolescent client who hasn't been able to attend school due to her anxiety. Following a minor car accident, this client has also been fearful of driving, and her fear of heights has made it difficult for her family to find an apartment to rent. Discover how Lynn establishes a connection with her young client and guides her through practical, easy-to-master strategies to help her overcome her worry.
 
In-Session 2

Working with misbehaviour and fear of bullying anxiety
 
In this session, Lynn works with a young girl and her parents to help the young client with her worries about bullying and other children's misbehaviour. Observe how Lynn works with both the client and her parents to develop family goals that deal directly with the problem to help the child overcome her anxiety and feelings of overwhelm.
 
In-Session 1

Working with an extreme worrier
 
In this session, you'll see Lynn at work with an 8-year-old boy who's an extreme worrier. Even sitting in-session with Lynn makes him worry. Experience how Lynn helps the child understand his own worry and watch how she uses humour and animation to help the boy overcome his fears.
