Digital coach for anxiety therapy homework in teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a digital tool called BraveBot that helps young people with anxiety or OCD do exposure homework between therapy sessions. It aims to make practicing these exercises easier and more effective using text reminders and online surveys.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an anxiety or related disorder (like panic attacks, social anxiety, or OCD) that doctors think would get better with exposure therapy.

- You are already getting exposure-based CBT at a participating Mass General Brigham clinic, or you are on the waitlist to start soon.
