About the Course

This commentary explores the adaptation of exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups to telehealth platforms for adolescents and young adults with social anxiety disorder (SAD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors outline the unique considerations, challenges, and benefits of delivering group therapy via telehealth, including the importance of engagement, group cohesion, and exposure-based activities. Practical strategies, clinical examples, and recommendations are provided to assist practitioners in optimizing telehealth group interventions for SAD, emphasizing the necessity of accessible and effective mental health care in times of social distancing.
