Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in high rates of distress in the community, and subsequently there has been an increased demand for mental health services. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) may play an important role in treating COVID-19 related distress; however, this treatment relies on the completion of a comprehensive assessment and appropriate individualized formulation given the heterogeneity in symptoms seen in patients presenting with COVID-19 related distress. CBT can be delivered remotely and these remote treatment approaches enhance access to treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter provides an overview of how clinicians may modify CBT interventions for patients presenting with COVID-19 related distress in order to improve access to treatment for those in the community who may benefit from mental health services during and even after the COVID-19 pandemic.
