This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a short online therapy program called BRIGHT, delivered by a licensed psychologist through video, to help head and neck cancer survivors who are struggling with concerns about their appearance or body image. Many people who've had head and neck cancer surgery experience distress about how they look afterward, and this study wants to see if this focused therapy can help reduce that distress and improve overall well-being.
Head and neck cancer survivors often face significant emotional and social challenges after treatment, especially related to changes in their appearance. This trial exists to test whether a structured, accessible online therapy program can effectively help people cope with these body image concerns and improve their quality of life during survivorship.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either the BRIGHT therapy program or a supportive care control group. Both involve video sessions with a licensed psychologist delivered from home. You'll complete check-ins at 2, 3, 6, and 9 months after you start to see how you're doing. The study will ask you about your feelings regarding your appearance, your mental health, and your overall quality of life.
