In addition, she uses psychological principles to assist camps in training their counselors.

Dr. Baruch-Feldman emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her practice. She trained at the Albert Ellis Institute in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The CBT model has been applied with success in the treatment of a wide range of disorders and problems, including depression, anxiety (e.g., social anxiety, specific phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder, anger, impulsive behaviors, Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), behavioral problems, social skills deficits, and family/relational problems. Significantly, this therapy approach has demonstrated success both alone, and in combination with medication. Furthermore, research has demonstrated the maintenance of treatment gains over time.

Dr. Baruch-Feldman frequently presents workshops at schools and camps. Workshops are hands-on and interactive. Participants walk away with strategies that they can incorporate into their lives. See the resource section for a list of possible workshops.
