The purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate a web-based app to improve provider implementation and patient engagement in homework (i.e., between-session practice of skills learned during therapy) during child mental health treatment by conducting a small-scale feasibility trial in community practice settings comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to CBT enhanced with the app.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)	The standard of care procedures for children with clinically elevated anxiety, depression, and PTSD is traditional CBT from their mental health provider.
BEHAVIORAL	CBT+App	Participants receive CBT as usual enhanced with a simple, HIPAA compliant, web-based application to help mental health providers implement homework during CBT with children with elevated PTSD, anxiety, and/or depression, and their caregivers. The three major components of the app help providers to (1) Practice interactive, digitized CBT exercises with patients in-session; (2) Remind patients to practice CBT exercises for homework, and (3) Review homework during the next session.
