Structured worksheets can enhance therapeutic outcomes across a range of modalities (Kazantzis et al., 2010).
Trustworthy, evidence-based tools are excellent time-savers for therapists.
Easily gain access to top resources covering five foundational therapeutic domains.
As a helping practitioner, you already know what your clients need.
The challenge is having the right tool ready when the moment arises — something that can turn clinical insight into a tangible resource a client can complete, reflect on, and return to between sessions.
But sourcing high-quality, evidence-informed materials across multiple presenting concerns is rarely straightforward and takes time that most practitioners simply don’t have.
The PracticeLab Worksheet Series, available in both physical and digital formats, was created to solve exactly this problem by providing a comprehensive therapeutic tool kit ready to use before your session even begins.
Before you continue, we thought you might like to download our five positive psychology tools for free. These engaging, science-based exercises will help you effectively deal with difficult circumstances and give you the tools to improve the resilience of your clients, students, or employees.
The PracticeLab Worksheet Series is a powerful collection of evidence-based worksheets for helping practitioners — like therapists and coaches — as well as educators, leaders, and individuals engaged in structured personal development. They can be used in any therapeutic, coaching, or wellness context.
Designed to make your job easier, these worksheets are adaptable enough to work with a variety of therapeutic philosophies. Each one uses reflections, behavioral experiments, visual frameworks, and more to help distill clinically relevant concepts into guided resources.
In this way, the tools offer a smooth entry point for both broaching new material in sessions and ensuring clients feel supported as they continue engaging with concepts outside of sessions.
What Are the Five Themes in Volume 2?
Volume 2 expands upon the foundations laid in PracticeLab Worksheets Volume 1, covering five core themes: anxiety, perfectionism, relationships, conflict resolution, and behavioral change.
In contrast to Volume 1, which was structured around modalities and skill sets (acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management, boundaries, and self-esteem), Volume 2 organizes its worksheets around presenting concerns that frequently co-occur across client populations.
Anxiety, perfectionism, relational difficulties, interpersonal conflict, and resistance to behavioral change rarely arrive in isolation; perfectionism feeds anxiety (Lunn et al., 2023), anxiety can strain relationships (Zaider et al., 2010), and relational tension can undermine the sustained effort required for behavioral change (Sisson et al., 2022).
Therefore, we’ve gathered wellbeing tools across all five domains into a single volume. That way, you’ll gain the flexibility to address these interconnected themes in a comprehensive and impactful way.
When Might These Worksheets Be Helpful?
The five domains in Volume 2 reflect some of the most consistently challenging areas practitioners encounter across client populations.
The worksheets included in the volume may be particularly helpful for clients who:
Are prone to excessive worry and rumination
Avoid particular situations, people, or conversations because the anxiety they trigger feels unmanageable
Experience their self-worth as contingent on achieving flawless outcomes
Demand perfection from others
Have trouble forming and maintaining close connections
Feel their needs are consistently unmet in relationships
Circle around the same disagreements without resolution
Default to criticism or blame during conflict
Return week after week with the same problem despite genuine motivation to change
Set goals enthusiastically but lose momentum when initial motivation fades
The value of having evidence-based worksheets on hand is that you can respond to these challenges purposefully, rather than improvising under time pressure. This deepens the therapeutic work while reinforcing wins beyond the session room.
Volume 2: What’s Inside?
The five themes in the PracticeLab Volume 2 are rich with tools for transformative client work. Here’s a closer look at what’s inside.
Anxiety
The anxiety worksheets range from fear hierarchy templates to more CBT-focused thought-replacement exercises. There are also tools to help clients explore times when they’ve acted inappropriately out of fear and to plan more adaptive behavioral alternatives for the future.
Other included tools are:
FLARE for Anxiety and Fear, which helps clients ground via their senses during moments of overwhelm
Who Am I Beyond My Anxiety?, which guides clients to reconnect with their values beyond situations that make them feel anxious
Taken together, these worksheets help clients build a life beyond their anxiety and begin to relate to it as something they experience rather than something they are.
Perfectionism
The perfectionism worksheets help clients reflect on ways they expect perfection from themselves and others. They include templates to document situational triggers of perfectionism, as well as goal-setting tools to establish new, more realistic standards.
Example worksheets include:
Self-Talk Exercise, which helps clients recognize their critical inner voice
I Can/Can’t Control, which explores the limits of clients’ control so they can better manage their energy
These tools shine a clear spotlight on perfectionism in all its forms, helping clients break free from its shackles to enjoy life in all its imperfection.
Relationships
The relationships worksheets help practitioners gain a visual of their clients’ most important relationships and understand their strengths and weaknesses. They include tools rooted in imago therapy and resources to evaluate relationship quality.
When it comes to improving relationships, the most helpful worksheets include:
High-Quality Relationships (HQR), which guides couples to brainstorm improvements across six areas of their partnership
Making and Strengthening Friendships, which helps clients plan ways to invest more effort in their valued friendships
Taken together, these tools help unearth the unconscious expectations clients have for their relationships and become more conscious about investing in connections that serve them.
Conflict resolution
The conflict resolution worksheets help couples and families address recurring sources of disagreement more effectively. They shift clients from character-focused conflict strategies to issue-focused ones, while also helping them stay calm and regulated.
Example worksheets include:
Turning “You” Into “I” Spreadsheet, which teaches clients how to use “I” statements during conflicts
The Win-Win Waltz Worksheet, which breaks down the parties’ positions and helps them identify mutually beneficial solutions
This is an excellent collection to normalize the fact that disagreements will arise in any lasting relationship, reframing them as opportunities for a stronger connection.
Behavioral change
Finally, the behavioral change worksheets help clients identify the motivational resources needed to make change stick. They include tools for planning habit change, health improvement, and ultimately, identity transformation.
Example worksheets include:
Finding Discrepancies, which helps clients reflect on the consequences of continuing an undesirable behavior across different life domains
Behavior Contract, which leverages the support of a friend or family member to help clients establish a new, healthy habit
These worksheets translate the best science on behavior change into strategies that make pursuing change feel naturally motivating, rather than something to be struggled through.
Helpful Tips for Working With Your Clients
The following tips draw on the best of what Volume 2 has to offer across its five domains.
Pair them with well-chosen therapy questions and keep them in mind as you integrate these worksheets into your work with clients.
For anxious clients, start with identity; help them envision the person they could become without anxiety ruling their behavior.
Help perfectionistic clients distinguish between what is and isn’t within their control early in the therapeutic process so they can see the limits of their influence clearly.
When working with new clients, try using visual mapping tools to quickly get up to speed on their relationship networks.
Teach clients the difference between character- and issue-focused conflict, and try using role-play to illustrate how each plays out in disagreements.
Help clients identify both the costs of staying the same and the benefits of change when they’re looking to establish new habits to double their motivation.
