Exposure therapy (ET) has been shown to be effective in working with anxiety disorders in children. In the Russian literature, there are few protocols of ET, and no effectiveness studies have been found. Contribution to the effectiveness of work with anxiety is conditioned by the alliance between psychologist and client, as well as by the phenomenon of temporal attunement of physiological and behavioral parameters of two or more people during their interaction (interpersonal synchrony). This article presents the results of an observation of the dynamics of anxiety symptoms, psychologists' alliance, and synchrony at the behavioral level in a single case analysis of an intensive five-day ET intervention with child anxiety. It was found that high alliance scores and their positive dynamics, as well as the psychologist's adjustment to the client's movements, were observed simultaneously with de-escalation of anxiety symptoms. In addition to these findings, the article provides a detailed description of the research program and recommendations for researchers of the psychotherapeutic process and psychologists-practitioners.
