Can training therapists in LGBTQ-Affirmative CBT ease depression in marginalized communities?
NCT ID NCT05890404
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates how to best implement LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) at LGBTQ community centers across the United States. It compares two training approaches for mental health providers: one with self-guided online materials only, and another that adds live weekly training sessions. The study will measure whether these training methods improve providers' fidelity to the therapy and, in turn, reduce depression symptoms in their sexual and gender minority clients.
