Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was formulated well before the first cellphone hit the market, but computer- and smartphone-assisted applications are increasingly popular. Chapter 8 reviews the rationale for incorporating technology into CBT and the research supporting it. It includes detailed considerations for selecting mobile apps for behavior change, mindfulness, and therapy/self-help goals and offers advice on how to utilize them with students and teachers. Select apps are described in detail, along with their pros and cons and utility for specific presenting problems. The chapter concludes by acknowledging some limitations of mobile apps and presenting a case study that applies mobile apps in a school-based session.

This case study describes the use of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and legal interventions for a 16-year-old girl who was the victim of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) and suffered from substance abuse, anxiety, and body image issues. Over the course of 1 year, the client was able to discontinue involvement in sexual exploitation, cease substance use, decrease her anxiety level, improve her self-concept, and reduce posttrauma symptoms. The case calls attention to the need for extended rapport building, flexibility in treatment, and tailoring manualized treatments. It highlights the path to CSE for one teenager as well as the resultant emotional and behavioral consequences. Given the extensive nature of her past traumas, case management was continued following the clients’ discharge from treatment to support her adjustment. These follow-up sessions were conducted about once a month and assisted with maintenance of treatment goals.
