First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study will test a 'blended' therapy approach for adults with emotional disorders like anxiety and depression. Participants will either receive standard face-to-face therapy, a mix of face-to-face sessions and a smartphone app, or be placed on a waitlist. The goal is to see if the blended format is easy to use, acceptable to patients, and helps reduce symptoms. The study involves 45 adults in primary care and will track their progress for about 10 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Unified Protocol (cognitive-behavioral therapy) delivered in a blended format (face-to-face sessions plus a smartphone app)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a more accessible and flexible way to treat anxiety and depression in primary care, combining in-person therapy with app-based support.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (45 people) that hasn't started yet. It's testing feasibility, not effectiveness, so results may not apply to everyone. The app-based part may not suit all patients.
