Evidence-based psychosocial treatments for late-life anxiety are promising. However, over half of older adults with anxiety do not seek treatment (Byers et al., 2012), and age differences in treatment response suggest that older adults with anxiety may not benefit from evidence-based treatments as much as their younger counterparts (Wetherell et al., 2013b). More work is needed to improve access and outcomes for this underserved population. This chapter provides an overview of available late-life anxiety psychosocial treatments with attention to both traditional efficacy trials and the development and testing of new models of care designed to improve reach, access, and outcomes.
