Rates of end-of-care reliable improvement or recovery in anxiety or depression symptoms ranged from 82.4\u2009\u2212\u200987.5% across gender identity groups, and 84.3\u2009\u2212\u200986.9% across sexual orientation groups. In growth curve models, anxiety and depression symptoms significantly decreased during treatment. Compared with straight adults, bisexual adults and adults reporting additional sexual orientation groups exhibited statistically significantly less steep initial reductions in anxiety and depression symptoms. Compared with female adults, male adults had statistically significantly steeper initial reductions in anxiety and depression symptoms. Across these outcomes, statistically significant differences by gender identity and sexual orientation groups were small.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This employer-offered telemental health program provided clinically beneficial services to populations with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, suggesting a potential pathway for accessing equitable mental health care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/24731242251382353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,6]],"date-time":"2025-10-06T08:50:19Z","timestamp":1759740619000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Outcomes of an Evidence-Based Telemental Health Program Across Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9719-5964","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jocelynn T.","family":"Owusu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine B.","family":"Shakman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keren","family":"Lehavot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert E.","family":"Wickham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alethea A.","family":"Varra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Connie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"Lungu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer L.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lyra Health, Burlingame, California, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","volume-title":"Depression and Other Common Mental Disorders: Global Health Estimates","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2017","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
