ADHD Intervention Deep Dive: CBT, Executive Functioning, and Skill Building

Bring your toughest clinical questions. Carrington answers participant questions throughout the webinar, so you leave with clarity on the ADHD presentations that actually show up in your caseload rather than generic guidance.

Work through realistic ADHD cases and practice designing skill-building interventions as a group. Hearing how experienced clinicians match strategies to individual executive-functioning profiles builds the clinical judgment that written materials alone cannot teach.

Counselors provide the majority of outpatient mental health services and frequently work with children, adolescents, and adults whose ADHD affects school, work, and relationships. This training helps counselors deliver CBT for ADHD and coach executive-functioning skills that make a measurable difference in daily functioning.

Social workers support clients with ADHD across hospitals, agencies, schools, and private practice, often alongside other stressors. This ASWB ACE-approved webinar gives social workers practical tools for teaching organization, planning, and self-regulation skills and coordinating support across the systems in a client's life.

Family therapists see how ADHD ripples through parent-child relationships, couples, and household routines. This training helps MFTs address the relational impact of ADHD while coaching clients and families in executive-functioning skills and CBT-based strategies that reduce conflict and build structure.

ADHD frequently co-occurs with substance use and complicates recovery through impulsivity and difficulty with follow-through. This NAADAC-approved webinar helps addiction professionals recognize ADHD in their clients and integrate skill-building and CBT strategies that support both symptom management and recovery.

Psychologists conducting assessments, providing therapy, or supervising trainees benefit from current, practical knowledge of ADHD intervention. This webinar covers CBT for ADHD, executive-functioning skill building, and case formulation that complement assessment and treatment across settings.

Build a working model of ADHD grounded in self-regulation and executive functioning. Connect underlying deficits in working memory, inhibition, and self-direction to the concrete struggles clients report with follow-through, organization, and emotional control.

Explore how CBT for ADHD targets the thoughts, behaviors, and environmental factors that maintain difficulty, and how it differs from CBT for mood and anxiety. Learn to address avoidance, procrastination, negative self-talk, and the demoralization that often accompanies years of unmet expectations.

Teach concrete systems for capturing tasks, breaking projects into steps, and building reliable routines. Learn to help clients design external structures such as planners, reminders, and checklists that compensate for executive-functioning gaps.

Address the time blindness and procrastination that define daily life with ADHD. Coach clients in prioritization, estimating and structuring time, and getting started on tasks through strategies such as chunking, timers, and reducing barriers to initiation.

Help clients recognize and manage the emotional dysregulation and impulsivity that frequently accompany ADHD. Apply strategies for pausing before acting, tolerating frustration, and responding rather than reacting in high-stakes moments.

Adapt interventions across the lifespan and to co-occurring conditions, and involve families, partners, and other systems in reinforcing skills. Address ethical and culturally responsive practice, including collaboration with prescribers and respect for each client's goals and context.

Step 1: Assess the Executive-Functioning Profile. Map where the client struggles most across planning, organization, working memory, time management, task initiation, and emotional regulation. Targeting the specific deficits, rather than ADHD in general, makes intervention far more effective.

Step 2: Externalize and Structure. Move demands out of the client's head and into reliable external systems such as planners, reminders, checklists, and visual cues. External structure compensates for working-memory and organization deficits so success does not depend on remembering.

Step 3: Build Time-Management and Initiation Skills. Teach prioritization, time estimation, and strategies for getting started, including chunking tasks, using timers, and lowering the barrier to the first step. These skills directly counter time blindness and procrastination.

Step 4: Add CBT Strategies for Follow-Through. Use cognitive-behavioral techniques to address the avoidance, negative self-talk, and demoralization that undermine new habits. Reframe setbacks, reinforce effort, and build the motivation and consistency that skills require to stick.

Step 5: Strengthen Emotional Regulation and Generalize. Coach strategies for managing frustration and impulsivity in the moment, then plan for generalizing skills across home, school, and work with the support of families, partners, and other systems.
