Brief Summary:
A case series of PBA intervention for anxiety problems.
Detailed Description:
Participants will self-refer to this study by emailing a research assistant (Mr. Whittington).
They will then attend a screening session where they complete an informed consent form and are assessed for inclusion/exclusion criteria. During the screening the research assistant will conduct a clinical interview and collaboratively identify hypothetical processes (e.g. avoidance) that might be contributing to the participants anxiety symptoms. Together, they will identify 8-items from the process-based assessment tool (see survey) that might be relevant to the participants anxiety.
Participants will then complete a baseline survey battery on a lab computer (via Qualtrics; \~20 minutes).
Participants will then complete a two-week assessment period where they complete brief (\<2 minute) surveys five times a day (approximately 9 am, noon, 2 pm, 5 pm, and 8 pm) each day for the two weeks. These surveys will be sent to participants' phone via Qualtrics. These surveys will be the 8-items identified during the intake session, with one additional item assessing momentary anxiety and an additional item assessed momentary quality of life perception.
The research team will use the data gathered during the two-week assessment period to create personalized networks of processes leading to participant anxiety symptoms. Each participants' network will guide their therapy treatment.
Participants will then attend up to 25 sessions of counseling for their anxiety. Sessions will occur roughly weekly and will last approximately 50 minutes. All sessions will occur in Dr. Borgogna's lab and clinic space (Campbell Hall Ste 310) on the UAB campus. The therapists in the study will all be masters-level clinicians in the UAB medical/clinical psychology program preparing for licensure (Mr. Whittington, Mr. Johnson, and Ms. Jafari) or a licensed clinical psychologist (Dr. Borgogna). Therapy sessions for pre-licensed clinicians will be recorded onto a UAB computer in Dr. Borgogna's lab and reviewed for supervision purposes by Dr. Borgogna (A/V recordings not for research purposes). Recordings will be deleted within 30 days of each therapy session.
Participants will complete the main battery again at post-test.
