Clinical Trial Summary

We are testing a smartphone app that provides therapy for depression. Participants will also receive short weekly virtual appointments with a therapist. Researchers want to know if this new treatment is usable, whether participants are satisfied with it, and whether it can help lower symptoms.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this project is to conduct an open trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a new therapist-guided smartphone-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for major depressive disorder (MDD). This treatment will include unlimited access to the mobile CBT for depression app over 8 weeks plus 8 virtual visits with a doctoral-level psychologist or psychology intern with their master's degree. The therapist will be assigned once eligibility is determined. All virtual sessions will be no longer than 16-25 min. The combined CBT app plus virtual treatment will be tested in 28 patients. Clinical assessments will occur at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end-of-treatment (week 8), and 3 month follow-up. The investigators hypothesize that this treatment will be feasible, acceptable to participants, and lead to reductions in depression symptoms and functional impairment as well as improvements in quality of life from baseline to end-of-treatment. ;
