Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: modified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Description: The theoretical model underling Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explains the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors during life situations. This model suggests that a person's thoughts/feeling/behaviors affect their functioning during life situations. This contrasts with a common belief that one's functioning during life situations is the only way to effect thoughts/feelings/behaviors. Applied to stroke, this model suggests that the stroke survivor can alter his/her functioning during life situations by altering his/her thoughts/feelings/behaviors. The purpose of CBT is to empower the person with the skills to alter his/her thoughts/feelings/behaviors in order to positively affect function in life situations.~The mCBT intervention includes 4 elements: psychoeducation, education about unhelpful thinking, behavioral activation therapy, education on sleep hygiene, and relaxation training.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Occupational or Speech Therapy
Description: If the participant demonstrates aphasia of any severity level on the Revised Western Aphasia Battery (WAB-R) assessment given at the PRE session, the subject will receive ST, provided by a Speech Language Pathologists (SLP), stroke telerehabilitation. If there is no aphasia, the subject will receive OT stroke telerehabilitation.~The OT and ST stroke telerehabilitation sessions will utilize a similar metacognitive strategy training approach which is focused on enabling the stroke survivor to re-engage with meaningful life activities. In the Occupational Therapy literature this approach is called Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP) and in the Speech Language Pathology Literature this approach is called the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA).~Telerehabilitation CO-OP and LPAA within the OT or ST session include three common elements: Shared decision-making for goal setting, guidance/coaching from the therapist, and self-evaluation.
