2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: XR-Enhanced Behavioral ActivationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this arm will perform all of their behavioral activation in extended reality (XR). Participants will meet with the clinician once a week for three weeks (4 sessions). In between weekly therapy sessions, participants will pick at least four pleasurable activities to enjoy in extended reality. Participants will complete their post-XR surveys and add and schedule activities on separate worksheets.
Group II: Traditional Behavioral ActivationActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this arm will perform all of their behavioral activation in real life. Participants will meet with the clinician once a week for three weeks (4 sessions). In between weekly therapy sessions, participants will pick four pleasurable or mastery activities to perform in real life. Participants will complete the PHQ-9 and their activity monitoring and scheduling on separate worksheets.
