This trial is testing eMeistring, a guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program that helps people manage moderate depression, social anxiety disorder, or panic disorder. Instead of traditional in-person therapy, you would work through online modules (lessons) with regular support from a licensed therapist who communicates with you via secure email. The study wants to understand how well this online approach works and whether it's cost-effective compared to standard care.
Many people struggle to access mental health care due to distance, schedules, or other barriers. This trial exists to see whether this treatment can reach more people and provide the same quality of help as traditional therapy, while potentially reducing costs for the healthcare system.

You would first meet face-to-face with a therapist for an initial assessment. Then you would work through online modules (8 for depression, 9 for anxiety or panic) at your own pace from home, with email support from your therapist at least once a week. After completing the program, you would have a final in-person visit to review your progress. The entire process typically takes several weeks to a few months.
