Remote cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) via videoconference has been garnering attention as a means of improving access to CBT for depression, in particular during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. However, there is a lack of evidence supporting its implementation in Japanese clinical settings. This case series aimed to establish preliminary evidence of whether remote CBT can be an effective therapy for major depression in Japanese clinical settings. Five patients who met the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder were enrolled and underwent remote CBT via videoconference and face-to-face assessment interviews. The results showed that remote CBT via videoconference improved depressive symptoms, enabling a relatively high level of patient satisfaction and working alliance. Moreover, detailed feedback from our patients showed that continuous monitoring was preferable for increasing treatment engagement. Further research is warranted to test the efficacy and acceptability of remote CBT via videoconference for treating major depression.

Objective: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a well-established treatment for anxiety disorders in the general population. However, the efficacy of CBT for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and otherwise non-heterosexual or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) people with anxiety disorders is still emerging in the literature. This protocol proposes an exploratory, two-group, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of CBT for anxiety disorders against a waitlist control group.

Article Synopsis
- 1-4% of children and adolescents worldwide suffer from OCD, and many do not have access to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), making online videoconferencing (vCBT) a promising alternative for therapy in a familiar environment.
- A study with 20 patients aged 12-18 conducted 14 weekly vCBT sessions, using a multimodal sensor system to monitor physiological and behavioral responses, finding that both patients and parents found the treatment feasible and easy to understand.
- Results pointed to significant reductions in OCD symptoms, with an average CY-BOCS score decrease of over 50%, and improvements in family life, indicating that vCBT could be a successful treatment method for
Sleep Treatment Education Program for Cancer Survivors: Protocol for an Efficacy Trial.

Article Synopsis
- Cancer survivors often experience chronic insomnia long after treatment, and effective treatment options, especially cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI), are not readily available due to various barriers.
- The STEP-1 program provides a low-intensity, online educational intervention focused on CBTI to help improve insomnia and mood among cancer survivors, compared to a control group receiving relaxation education.
- A phase II pilot study assesses STEP-1's effectiveness and participant satisfaction while considering factors that influence treatment response and exploring the feasibility of personalized coaching for those not significantly benefiting from the intervention.

Objective: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a persistent mental health condition that results in significant individual and economic burden. The uptake of evidence-based treatment is low, with many individuals with GAD citing cost as one of the key barriers. Brief treatments, which are typically more cost effective than standard length treatments, have the potential to make treatment more accessible to patients with GAD.
