This study is testing two types of counseling for sexual minority women (lesbian, bisexual, queer, pansexual, or other non-heterosexual identity) who experience heavy drinking and mental health issues. You might be eligible if you are 18 or older, fluent in English, and have had heavy drinking in the past month. The study compares a 10-session LGBTQ-affirmative Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) called EQuIP to a 10-session LGBTQ-affirmative Treatment-As-Usual. Both treatments are delivered through telehealth. Researchers want to see if EQuIP can better reduce heavy drinking and mental health symptoms like depression. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 274 participants.
