This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether personalized talk therapy — tailored to your specific needs — can help cancer patients and caregivers cope with emotional distress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, pain, and fatigue. Trained therapists will work with you to choose the right therapy approach based on what you're struggling with most. The goal is to help you feel better, manage your symptoms, and improve your daily life during and after cancer treatment.
Many people with cancer and their caregivers experience significant emotional stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges that can make their medical care harder. This study exists to make sure therapists have the right training to deliver proven, personalized therapy approaches that directly address cancer-related distress and help people function better.

If you qualify, you will meet with a therapist once per week for 6 to 16 sessions, either in person at Massachusetts General Hospital or by video call. Before and after your therapy, you will complete surveys about how you're feeling. Your therapist will choose which therapy approach works best for your specific concerns — whether that's cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, or other proven techniques. The entire study participation is expected to last about 26 weeks, and you may be offered a few additional booster sessions afterward if needed.
