Qualitative analysis of lessons learned by Master’s-level behavioral health practitioners for remote delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy–based treatment for chronic pain
Remote delivery of a CBT-CP-based intervention was rewarding for MLPs and addressed many patients' needs. However, to ensure that MLPs have the confidence and expertise to effectively deliver this intervention, considerable resources must be devoted to training and supervision. We advocate for further exploration of best practices for involving non-psychologists, particularly MLPs, in the delivery of CBT-CP-based protocols within both research and clinical settings.
