Summary

The purpose of this project is to test a brief, telephone-based psychological intervention, CBT-UT, to improve the ability to tolerate uncertainty-and thereby to reduce distress-in people with a recent diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). There are three treatment arms for this study. Participants will receive either (1) CBT for Uncertainty Tolerance, (2) Traditional CBT, or (3) treatment as usual.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CBT for Uncertainty Tolerance

Participants work one-on-one with an interventionist. Treatment sessions focus on understanding the difference between the controllable and uncontrollable aspects of MS, ability to tolerate not knowing exactly what the future will hold, setting personal goals for what "accepting" what MS will look like, and finding ways to live in conjunction with personal values despite the MS diagnosis.

BEHAVIORAL

Traditional CBT

Participants work one-on-one with an interventionist. Treatment sessions focus on goal setting, positive activities, identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, and bolstering social support.
