1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new Culturally Affirming Racial Equity (CARE) intervention works to improve the cultural fit of psychotherapy for diverse populations, even when the therapist and patient do not share the same cultural background. We will refine and test the intervention with a sample of non-Asian therapists working with Asian American participants receiving short-term individual psychotherapy delivered online. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the CARE framework, adapted for and delivered by non-Asian therapists, work to engage and retain Asian American participants in treatment? * Is the CARE framework associated with a) the development of a positive therapeutic relationship between non-Asian therapists and Asian American participants and b) significant improvements in participants' presenting problems? Participants will: * Receive up to 15 weekly sessions of individual psychotherapy * Complete different online surveys after every session and on a monthly basis
