LEARN PRECISE CBT CASE CONCEPTUALIZATION FROM A PSYCHOLOGIST TRAINED IN CBT ASSESSMENT, FORMULATION & TREATMENT PLANNING
Leslie Sokol, PhD
Dr. Leslie Sokol did not arrive at CBT case conceptualization from theory alone. She has spent her career working directly with licensed clinicians who came trained in the CBT model and still found themselves running techniques without a formulation underneath them. That clinical reality, watching precise CBT application reduced to protocol delivery, is what drew her to the specific work of teaching assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment planning as one connected clinical chain.
What she brings to the August 13th Masterclass is grounded in that same practice: the gap between what CBT training produces and what genuine clinical precision actually requires. Her work spans automatic thoughts, core beliefs, maintaining factors, and schema-level assessment applied to real client presentations, making these frameworks immediately usable in session, not as theory to revisit, but as a clinical map you reach for the moment a case stops moving.
Here Is What Changes After The CBT Treatment Masterclass
WITH THIS MASTERCLASS:
You identify maintaining factors before reaching for any CBT intervention
You build a case conceptualization that explains exactly why the case is stuck
You connect automatic thoughts to core beliefs & schemas in a single clinical map
You walk into every session with a formulation, not just a technique
WITHOUT THIS MASTERCLASS:
Core beliefs go unidentified & the case plateaus without explanation
Assessment stays surface-level & drives the wrong treatment plan
Techniques get applied without a formulation underneath them
The case keeps stalling & you do not know why
6 CEs, Lifetime Replay & Clinical tools: Available For Purchase After Registration (You'll Be Redirected automatically)
Frequently Asked Questions
I use CBT in my practice but have never focused on case conceptualization. Is this Masterclass appropriate for me?
Yes. This Masterclass is built for clinicians who already use CBT weekly & want the case conceptualization framework that standard CBT training never fully provided.
I was trained in CBT years ago. How is this different from what I already know?
Dr. Leslie Sokol teaches the theoretical foundations of CBT, the clinical distinction between mechanical technique application & precise case conceptualization, and the assessment-to-formulation framework designed to apply in your next session, not replace everything you know.
I also use DBT, ACT, or another modality. Will this conflict with my existing approach?
No. The CBT case conceptualization framework adds an assessment & formulation layer to the modality you already practice without asking you to abandon it.
My clients keep plateauing in CBT. Is this only for complex or high-acuity cases?
No. The Masterclass focuses on automatic thoughts, maintaining factors, & core beliefs underneath the presentation, so it applies whether the case is straightforward or has been stuck for months.
Can I get the recording if I cannot attend live?
Yes. The full 6-hour recording is included in the Premium Pass with lifetime access. You can purchase it at the next step once you register for the Masterclass.
Are the CE credits board-approved for my license?
