Summary
This trial tests a simple therapy for people with mild-to-moderate anxiety, especially in underserved areas. The therapy is delivered by trained non-specialists and helps reduce avoidance behaviors.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with mild-to-moderate anxiety who can attend in-person visits at UNLV, speak English, and have a certain score on the Beck Anxiety Inventory. It's not for those getting psychotherapy, with active suicidal thoughts, severe psychological conditions like psychosis or bipolar disorder, cognitive impairments, substance abuse issues (except depression), or using anti-anxiety meds.
What is being tested?
The study tests a low-intensity behavioral intervention for anxiety delivered by trained lay counselors to see if it's feasible and effective. Fifteen participants will receive this treatment to assess its impact on their anxiety levels.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral intervention rather than medication-based therapy, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal experiences related to anxiety during sessions.

Other Research
The most common treatments for anxiety include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). CBT works by helping patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, thereby reducing anxiety symptoms.
SSRIs increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can improve mood and reduce anxiety. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for anxiety patients as it helps them comprehend how these treatments can alleviate their symptoms, leading to better adherence and more effective management of their condition.
