description | Online social work services (e.g., telemental health; telebehavioral health; virtual care; telehealth) present significant opportunities for clinical social workers to provide effective care to marginalized populations, such as LGBTQ+ youth. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased focus on telehealth, and while there are excellent resources to guide ethics, standards, and legal decisions (NASW, n.d.), there is less guidance in the literature to specifically inform the adaptation of offline clinical skills to telehealth, particularly for LGBTQ+ youth. To address this gap, we present examples from our experience offering AFFIRM, an affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) group intervention now being delivered through telehealth. Specifically, this paper will: (a) describe the key considerations for the delivery of CBT via telehealth to youth; (b) detail specific clinical skills and strategies to enable successful online implementation; (c) describe the adaptation approach through a case study of cognitive restructuring with a transgender youth; (d) and offer specific guidance to support clinicians to adapt their clinical skills to the virtual environment. |
