Summary

This study is testing whether an online, self-guided dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) course is practical and helpful for adults with mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety. Up to 40 participants will take the 8-week course, which teaches skills like mindfulness and emotion regulation. Researchers will measure how acceptable and usable the course is, and whether it improves symptoms.
