Our research group at the University of Miami is launching a new study to better understand exposure therapy for social anxiety disorder, which is part of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

We are looking for participants between the ages of 18 – 90 who live in the United States, are fluent in English, and who have social anxiety disorder but are not currently receiving any psychotherapy (medication is OK).

If you are eligible for this study, you will receive 2-3 months of free, online, and effective CBT-based therapy for OCD. The online therapy is called OCD-NET (https://www.ocd-net.com/). You will be assigned an individual therapist who supports you and who you can message in the OCD-NET platform. Before you start OCD-NET, you will do an interview session where we ask you about your mental health symptoms. This will be done on Zoom. You will then have a short, one-hour Zoom meeting to meet your assigned therapist and learn how to use OCD-NET. During OCD-NET, you will do exposure and response prevention exercises. As part of this study you will complete daily entries in an online survey we designed to help coach you through your exposures. This tool is called OLIE, the OCD Logbook for Intentional Exposure.
       
You will also complete weekly questionnaires through the OCD-NET platform. Finally, at the end of the study, you will complete a short interview session with a member of our team via Zoom. You can earn up to $150 for completing various parts of the study such as the questionnaires, doing the final interview, and using the online survey during exposures.
