Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anxiety

In brief

The proposed clinical intervention is a modular skills-based intervention for flexible delivery of care, measurement-based care practices, and integration of exposure strategies critical for anxiety symptom reduction. Notably, the treatment targets anxiety symptoms rather than diagnoses to improve use in PCMHI and CBOC settings. The pilot study will develop and conduct preliminary testing of bCBT for anxiety using Veterans Affairs (VA) Video Connect to Home (VVC-H) to deliver care.
