# Therapeutic Working Alliance in Brief Therapy with College Students: In-Person versus Telemental Health

https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b2rbnzspt

 

This dataset includes responses of participants on the Beck’s Anxiety Inventory BEFORE the intervention, AFTER the intervention (3 solution-focused brief therapy counseling sessions) and at 3-week follow-up after end of the study. It also includes the results of the Working Alliance Inventory after one counseling session and after the final, 3rd counseling session. In addition, the delivery of counseling (whether in-person TAU or telemental health-experimental) is indicated. Finally, we looked at scores on the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms (CCAPS) re: anxiety. This allowed us to compare both the working alliance between in-person and telemental health and also the efficacy (changes in Beck’s anxiety scores) using t-tests and regression analyses.
