Abstract
This review summarizes six decades of clinical outcome research relevant to evidence-based practices for depression and anxiety delivered via clinical videoconferencing. The authors conducted a literature search of previous systematic reviews and an updated search of publications specific to anxiety and depression. Overall, strong evidence supports the safety and clinical effectiveness of administering evidence-based psychotherapy for anxiety and depression via clinical videoconferencing among heterogeneous populations and age ranges, and in multiple care settings, with similar outcomes to in-person care. Despite the overall clinical effectiveness of the modality, the authors discuss common logistical and institutional barriers to long-term effective implementation. Future systems-level research is required to investigate replicable and sustainable models for implementing and expanding access to evidence-based psychotherapies via clinical videoconferencing.
