Not all clutter takes up physical space. In our increasingly digital world, many individuals struggle with the accumulation of digital information- over saving photos, files, apps, and emails. Digital hoarding can cause significant stress and impairment, hindering one’s ability to live fully. In this workshop, we’ll explore the various causes and methods of digital hoarding and provide insights into breaking the cycle, helping individuals regain control of their digital lives. We will explore Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and an integrative approach that focuses on motivation and emotional regulation, offering a more personalized and compassionate approach to managing digital overload. Case discussions will be utilized to illustrate different skills and provide valuable insights into recovery. This workshop will offer up to date research addressing the behavior while providing guidance in developing a behavioral plan through actionable strategies to help those impacted by digital hoarding.

People who suffer with scrupulosity, as a subtype of OCD, can experience a range of challenges getting treatment, such as invalidation of actual spiritual and religious practice (or lack thereof) or becoming overly in obsessional loops and compulsive behaviors. Clinicians often must wade through poorer insight and additional resistance. SCRUPULOSITY: Treating Religious, Moral, and Spiritual Manifestations of OCD invites a brief but comprehensive study into the history of OCD itself—which involves clergy and church history, offering attendees evidence-based tools and resources for best results.

Black fathers often face systemic barriers that limit their engagement with health care and social services, including biases in practice, restrictive policies, and a lack of culturally responsive interventions. These challenges contribute to disparities in paternal involvement and well-being. The Just Practice Framework offers a justice-centered, critically reflective approach to social work, helping clinicians recognize and address these structural inequities. This presentation will equip attendees with concrete strategies to challenge biases, advocate for policy changes, and implement inclusive, strengths-based interventions that enhance engagement with Black fathers. By attending, clinicians will gain tools to shift their practice toward more equitable and effective support for Black fathers and their families.

Contamination OCD is a common but challenging-to-treat form of obsessive-compulsive disorder that represents roughly half of its cases. This program teaches clinicians how to treat contamination OCD using the functional-based Mastery treatment approach, a synthesis of exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and emerging literature on the use of judicious safety behaviors to improve functioning in cases where triggers do not directly habituate. This is a humane and well-tolerated approach that is well suited to contamination OCD cases such as disgust, neurodiversity and more, and has now been taught and implemented at major clinics nationwide. This presentation will teach clinicians how to use the Mastery approach, a functional approach to ERP designed for cases that do not respond to traditional ERP, such as disgust or other non-habituating triggers, neurodiversity, co-morbidities and more.

Psychotherapists are powerful and often under-utilized allies in engaging our patients in effective use of psychiatric medication. Learn how effective communication between prescribers and psychotherapists can advance “treatment-resistant” patients forward while simultaneously enhancing clinician’s fulfillment in their work. Go beyond discussing neurotransmitters and into the heart of what taking psychiatric medication means to our patients. Address fears of dependency, loss of identity, weakness, and loss of control. Understand how attachment styles, medical trauma, and minority status predict medication side effects. Cultivate in patients an internal locus of control and self-advocacy skills to reduce side effect burden. Learn what information psychiatric medication prescribers really want to hear from psychotherapists and vice versa. Together, we are powerful allies in moving treatment forward. This presentation will help clinicians discuss medications in ways that empower their clients to more effectively engage in psychiatric treatment.
