Individual Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Chinese (IMCP-Ch) (For Phase 3 and Phase 4)

The six sessions will be delivered every or every other week over a span of 6-16 weeks, depending on participant and interventionist availability. Sessions may also be delivered within 2 weeks to accommodate schedules. Sessions will take place via MSK-approved videoconferencing platforms (e.g. Zoom) or by telephone, depending on participant preference. The IMCP-Ch intervention will be delivered via telehealth in Mandarin Chinese by a bilingual interventionist or in English (for bilingual Chinese and English-speaking patients who prefer English) by an English-speaking therapist or through English-to-Mandarin Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpretation (RSMI), depending on participants' preference. All Phase 4 sessions will be digitally audio-recorded and saved to Zoom cloud. Cloud recording will be deleted from Zoom after the files have been uploaded.
