- [Megan Poole](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/megan-poole/): Background: Despite alcohol misuse representing a significant public health concern, treatment seeking behavior remains disproportionately low (<15%). Traditional face-to-face interventions are often associated with barriers that include cost, time, distance, stigma, low expectations of improvement, and treatment credibility. Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ICBT) offers a flexible, cost effective, and accessible alternative to care that works to overcome these barriers. Several studies investigating the effectiveness of face-to-face therapy compared to ICBT found equivalent ratings in successful outcomes for a variety of mental health conditions.

- [Cynthia Beck](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/cynthia-beck/): Background: Agriculture producers experience high rates of mental health challenges and are less likely to seek or to receive help for mental health concerns than the general population. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is demonstrated to be effective for reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression and overcomes many barriers to receiving mental health care. This study assessed the usability of ICBT for Saskatchewan agricultural residents and its impact on symptoms of anxiety/depression, perceived stress, and resiliency.
- [Sasheen Horse](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/sasheen-horse/): Background: There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) but clients can struggle with motivation during treatment. Online motivational interviewing (MI) has not yet been investigated during ICBT as a method of facilitating engagement and outcomes.
- [Vanessa Peynenburg](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/vanessa-peynenburg/): Background: Nearly one-third of post-secondary students meet criteria for a mental disorder within any given year, with many students not receiving treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is an alternative to face-to-face services that is effective in general adult populations, but has been associated with high attrition rates and smaller effect sizes in student populations. Motivational interviewing (MI) is used by therapists in face-to-face settings and can help improve treatment completion and outcomes. Booster sessions are often used in face-to-face therapy to maintain long-term changes. To date, the use of online MI and booster sessions in ICBT for students has not been examined. In this implementation trial, the role of MI and booster sessions on treatment completion and outcomes was examined in Saskatchewan.
- [Nichole Faller](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/nichole-faller/): Background: Available research on mental health accommodations within the workplace  suggests that employees with mental health concerns require  accommodations to improve work functioning. Unfortunately, only a  fraction of employees requiring mental health accommodations will  receive the accommodations they have requested. Reported barriers to  receiving mental health accommodations include lack of knowledge about  appropriate accommodations, concerns regarding stigma, and financial  constraints of the employer. There is a paucity of research available on  interventions aimed at improving accommodation knowledge and usage for  mental health concerns.
- [Taylor Patterson](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/taylor-patterson/): Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) has been found to be effective among post-secondary students. Booster lessons have been proposed as a strategy for maintaining and improving outcomes but have yet to be investigated among students.
- [Victoria Suchan](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/victoria-owens/): Background: Following childbirth, women experience significant biological, physical, social, and emotional changes, wherein 20% of new mothers experience clinically impairing symptoms of anxiety or depression. Although effective treatment options exist, such as cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), new mothers report barriers to accessing such services. Importantly, many of these barriers can be overcome using Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT), which has been found to be effective in the treatment of various mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety. As postpartum anxiety and depression often co-occur, transdiagnostic ICBT that addresses both
- [Carly Chadwick](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/carly-chadwick/): Background: Alcohol misuse is a common mental disorder that can have devastating effects on an individual’s physical and mental health. Although alcohol misuse is both prevalent and disabling, only 21% of individuals receive treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) may serve as a promising solution for the treatment gap, as it minimizes concerns about the stigma surrounding seeking treatment. Previous studies in alcohol treatment literature address a phenomenon named Assessment Reactivity (AR) which suggests that assessment interviews are predictive of significant changes in pre-treatment drinking. This may be of clinical importance as early abstinence from alcohol has been significantly associated with longer periods of continuous abstinence.
- [Hugh McCall](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/hugh-mccall/): Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) is an innovative treatment for common mental health problems like depression and anxiety. It is similarly efficacious to face-to-face therapy when it is offered with therapist support by phone or secure email. It is not as efficacious when it is offered in a purely self-guided format, but it is easier to implement on a large scale. Various research groups have suggested that persuasive design—designing an intervention to be more engaging and stimulating for users—can help improve the efficacy of ICBT and other digital interventions for health and mental health problems. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between persuasive design elements and efficacy among previously published trials of unguided ICBT for depression and anxiety.
- [Joelle Soucy](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/joelle-soucy/): Background: Despite the fact that internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) can be used to effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, not all clients benefit from treatment. Opportunities exist to further enhance treatment outcomes in order to maximize the impact of iCBT. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical tool used by therapists to help facilitate clients’ motivation to change. Integrating MI and face-to-face therapy in the treatment of anxiety has been shown to result in better treatment response and completion relative to face-to-face therapy alone. Therefore, there is a possibility that combining iCBT with online MI can result in similar outcomes. This investigation sought to first develop a brief, interactive online MI pre-treatment that was designed to increase motivation to engage in iCBT for anxiety and depression. Once the protocol was developed and piloted, we examined the impact of the online MI pre-treatment on motivation levels, symptom change, and treatment engagement/completion.
- [Giuliano La Posta](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/giuliano-la-posta/): Background: Internet-delivered cognitive-behaviour therapy (ICBT) is effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression when targeted to specific groups with chronic health conditions (e.g., pain, cancer, cardiac, spinal cord injury). Nevertheless, there are some gaps in the literature regarding:
- [Luke Schneider](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/luke-schneider/): Depression and anxiety are common after a heart attack or other acute cardiac event, however, evidence-based mental health interventions are not routinely available in cardiac rehabilitation programs. The focus of this study was to explore the effectiveness and acceptability of the Cardiac Wellbeing Course: an Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy program to help survivors of cardiac events manage depression and anxiety.
- [Dale Dirkse](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/dale-dirkse/): Internet-delivered  cognitive behviour therapy (ICBT) has only recently been used to treat  anxiety and depression within a cancer population but has demonstrated  promising results. The focus of this study was to assess the  effectiveness of two forms of non-therapist assisted ICBT for cancer  survivors with symptoms of depression and anxiety in a larger sample.  The Wellbeing After Cancer course was offered to Canadians from August 2016 to May 2017. In this study we were interested in the impact of Wellbeing After Cancer on symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear of cancer recurrence, and overall quality of life after the course.
- [Danielle Earis](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/danielle-earis/): Background: Individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) confront numerous physical and psychological adjustments. Many report clinically significant depression and anxiety disorders post-SCI; thus, attention to psychological distress is crucial. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and depression. Despite the availability of treatment, there are barriers such as accessibility, cost, and transport to appointments. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) can increase access to psychological services.
- [Michael Edmonds](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/michael-edmonds/): Background: Transdiagnostic Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for patients experiencing anxiety and depression can produce large improvements in symptoms. Comorbid insomnia is common among individuals seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, yet transdiagnostic ICBT rarely targets insomnia and many ICBT patients report that symptoms of insomnia remain after treatment. This trial explored the impact of including a brief intervention for insomnia alongside an existing transdiagnostic ICBT course that included brief weekly therapist assistance.
- [Catherine Couture](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/catherine-couture/): Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is an efficacious treatment for anxiety and depression. Most ICBT programs include therapist assistance in the form of secure online messaging; however, a high degree of variability has been found in the content of client and therapist correspondence. Recent research conducted by Svartvatten et al. (2015) found that client statements suggesting alliance bolstering and text expressing a positive change in mood after the implementation of a suggested skill or exercise appear to correlate with greater symptom improvement.
- [Kristen Klassen](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/kristen-klassen/): Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) arose as a response to barriers associated with face-to-face therapy and has shown to be efficacious especially when offered with therapist assistance.
- [Christina Drost](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/christina-drost/): Background: Therapist-Assisted Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TAICBT) for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is found to be efficacious. The nature of therapist-assistance, however, is not well understood. This research aimed to enhance understanding of the nature of therapist-assistance by examining: 1) therapist behaviours in emails sent to clients treated with TAICBT for GAD and the extent to which these qualitatively overlap with behaviours described in face-to-face therapy; and 2) if therapist behaviours in the current study (using a larger and more diverse therapist sample) compared to therapist behaviours reported in a past study of TAICBT for GAD (Paxling et al., 2013). The relationship between therapist behaviours and treatment outcome, treatment satisfaction, and therapeutic alliance was also examined.
- [Lindsay Friesen](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/lindsay-friesen/): The focus of this study was to assess the efficacy of Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) who experience difficulties with pain, depression and or anxiety.  The Pain Course for Fibromyalgia was offered to Canadians from January 2014 to January 2015.  In this study, we were interested in the impact of the Pain Course for Fibromyalgia on FM symptoms, pain, depression and/or anxiety, and improving overall quality of life after the course.
- [Chantalle Fuchs](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/chantalle-fuchs/): Most cancer survivors appear to adjust well to having a cancer diagnosis over time, but research has shown that some cancer survivors experience clinical levels of anxiety and depression. In addition, it has been shown that social support often decreases after cancer treatment.
- [Nicole Alberts](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/nicole-alberts/): This dissertation involved two studies. In Study 1, Wellbeing After Cancer was made available to cancer survivors in Saskatchewan from February 2013 to May 2014. The therapist-guided Internet delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) program was based on the Wellbeing Course, which is a transdiagnotic ICBT program developed and tested by the eCentre Clinic in Australia. The Wellbeing Course was modified for recent cancer survivors who experience anxiety and/or depression. Eighteen individuals who completed primary cancer treatment within the past 18 months received CBT-based online lessons, homework assignments, once weekly contact from a therapist via e-mail or phone, and automated emails. Results of Study 1 showed that symptoms of anxiety and depression improved significantly from pre to post treatment. Participants also rated the program as highly acceptable and identified several program strengths.
- [Nicole Pugh](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/nicole-pugh/): Maternal Depression Online (MDO) was made available to Saskatchewan women from May 2012-Feburary 2014. The therapist-assisted Internet delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program was designed specifically for the treatment of postpartum depression. MDO consisted of 7 interactive modules including text, graphics, animation, audio and video, and covered:(a) psychoeducation on maternal depression, (b) activity planning, (c) relaxation, (d) thinking styles, (e) cognitive restructuring, (f) problem solving, and (g) relapse prevention. Using a randomized control design, 50 women with mild to moderate postpartum depression either received MDO or waited for treatment.
- [Shannon Jones](https://www.onlinetherapyunit.ca/shannon-jones/): 'GAD Online for Older Adults' was made available to adults in Saskatchewan aged 60 years and older from March 2012-November 2013. The therapist-assisted Internet delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (ICBT) program was modified for older adults who experience generalized anxiety (e.g., worry about many topics, difficulty controlling worry). The ICBT program involved 7 interactive modules that included text, graphics, animations, audio, and video. Topics included: (a) education about general anxiety, (b) monitoring anxiety and worry, (c) relaxation techniques and enjoyable activities, (d) examining and challenging unhelpful thoughts, (e) worry reduction strategies, overcoming avoidance and worry behaviours, and (f) problem-solving and sleep hygiene. Forty-six older adults with generalized anxiety disorder or subclinical anxiety were randomized to receive ICBT or waited for treatment.
