Abstract
LGBTQ individuals are more likely to have poor mental health outcomes such depression, anxiety, substance addiction, and suicidal thoughts. Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has long been regarded as a best practice option for the broader adolescent population with mental health issues, understanding of CBT's application to LGBTQ youth is still in its infancy. In order to clearly adapt CBT for the LGBTQ community and incorporate same-sex affirmation activities for young people, the purpose of this paper is to do just that (e.g. gender openness, discrimination against gender identity). trial), the community's and society's supportive role). In order to learn more about: (1) the psychological challenges faced by LGBTQ people; (2) the suitability of CBT to LGBTQ people; (3) the significance of using pro-LGBTQ practices; and (4) making recommendations to incorporate gay affirmation practices into CBT models to better meet LGBTQ needs, the study specifically conducted a trial to apply CBT with 54 members of the LGBTQ community in Vietnam.
