Professional Biography

Dr. Comer is Director of the Mental health Interventions and Novel Therapeutics (MINT) Program, and Distinguished University Professor at Florida International University. He is Past President of the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of the American Psychological Association), Editor-in-Chief for the journal Behavior Therapy and a leader in the field of clinical child and adolescent psychology. He is the author of over 250 scholarly publications, including several textbooks, such as Psychopathology: Science and Practice (12th edition) and Fundamentals of Psychopathology (11th edition).

Broadly speaking, Dr. Comer’s program of research examines child psychopathology and youth mental health care, focusing on anxiety disorders and trauma,family-based intervention, the roles of technology in overcoming traditional barriers to care, and youth disaster mental health.He is a leading expert in the study and treatment of pediatric anxiety and related problems, and his work places particular emphases on understanding anxiety-associated emotion dysregulation and irritability, cognitive vulnerabilities, behavior challenges, psychosocial impairment, and family dysfunction. Moreover, he has been a pioneer in the development and testing of technology-based innovations for expanding the reach of supported mental health care.

Under his direction, the MINT Program is an interdisciplinary clinical research laboratory devoted to expanding the scope, accessibility, acceptability, and responsiveness of evidence-based interventions. Dr. Comer led several of the field’s initial clinical trials establishing telehealth as an effective mode of psychological treatment delivery, including the very first NIMH-funded randomized trial comparing telehealth versus traditional office-based psychological treatment for youth mental health. His team and he were the first to develop and test internet-delivered parent-child interaction therapy (iPCIT), and he has led large-scale comparative effectiveness trials examining therapist-led versus self-administered internet-based care formats. In more recent years, his work has been exploring just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) that provide small doses of support in moments of greatest need, and AI applications that leverage machine learning algorithms to innovate mental health care.

In addition to this work, Dr. Comer directs a funded line of research examining the psychological impact of disasters, terrorism, and other public health crises on children and families. On this front, he directs the SAMSHA-funded Network for Enhancing Wellness in Disaster-Affected Youth (NEW DAY), and he has published extensively on children affected by the 9/11 terror attacks, the Boston Marathon bombing, Hurricane Irma, and the COVID-19 pandemic, among other large-scale community traumas. His team provides trainings to youth-serving professionals across the nation in multi-tired, trauma-informed supports in the wake of disaster. To date, under his direction the NEW DAY program has provided training in Psychological First Aid and in Respond with CARE (Child-Adult Relationship Enhancement) to over 5,000 youth-serving professionals in communities impacted by disasters.

Dr. Comer’s work has received current and past funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the American Psychological Foundation (APF), as well as from several private foundations and donors. Dr. Comer’s work has been recognized through the receipt of several research and career awards, including awards from the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science, the Society of Clinical Psychology, the Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice, the APA Committee on Children, Youth, and Families, the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. Dr. Comer has been named one of FIU’s “Top Scholars” and in 2025 he was promoted to the rank of “Distinguished University Professor.”

Dr. Comer received his B.A. from the University of Rochester, and went on to receive his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a Concentration in Developmental Psychopathology from Temple University. Dr. Comer completed his clinical psychology internship training in the Child and Adolescent Track of the NYU-Bellevue Clinical Psychology Internship Program and the NYU Child Study Center, after which he completed an NIH-funded Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Child Psychiatry at Columbia University, where he also served as Chief Research Fellow in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Before joining Florida International University, Dr. Comer served as Co-Director of Research in the Child Program of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) of Boston University, where he directed the Early Childhood Interventions Program.
