CBT Depression Intervention for Co-Occurring Chronic Headache

The 4-session CBT treatment will include receipt of a manualized cognitive behavioral intervention, delivered individually, to treat the depression symptoms (e.g. cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation) and teach adaptive coping strategies to manage their depression. Ideally, the intervention will also positively affect their chronic headaches (i.e. reduction of headache frequency, severity and level of disability). Each session is approximately 60 minutes with specific, reflective and guided activities related to a specific module within the intervention.
