This study is for Veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) who are interested in outpatient therapy. We are comparing different ways to help people who might be struggling with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a common treatment for PTSD. We want to see if using CPT skills to address challenges, or considering switching to Present Centered Therapy (PCT), works better to improve PTSD symptoms, depression, and how well people stay in treatment. We are also looking at different ways to identify when someone needs extra support during CPT. You would receive one of these therapy approaches. The main goal is to see how much your PTSD symptoms improve. We plan to enroll 280 participants, but the study's current status is unclear.
