A new study, Beyond the Lab: Empirically Supported Treatments in the Real World, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, shows that evidence-supported therapies (ESTs) provided by Lyra therapists in a real-world, non-laboratory setting are effective in treating both anxiety and depression.

The results were striking, and revealed that:

• How clients treated by Lyra therapists for anxiety, depression, or both experienced reliable clinical improvements higher than those seen in laboratory settings
• How these clinical outcomes differ from those in laboratory studies or compared to standard therapy in the community
• Description of how the study was conducted and the results were analyzed
