ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new technology called LyssnCBT, which aims to improve the quality of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provided to patients by therapists in community mental health settings. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the technology company Lyssn.io, Inc. want to see if using this technology can help therapists provide better therapy compared to the usual methods. The trial will first test the technology in five mental health agencies to understand any challenges in using it before comparing its effectiveness to standard services.

To participate in this study, therapists must work at a community mental health center in Philadelphia, be able to conduct therapy sessions in English, and agree to have their sessions recorded for research purposes. Clients who receive therapy must also speak English and be willing to allow the research team to collect data from their sessions. Participants can expect to be part of a project that aims to enhance the quality of mental health care, helping both therapists and clients improve their therapy experience.
