This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing an online therapy program called internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) to help people manage anxiety and depression symptoms that are connected to financial stress. The treatment combines weekly one-on-one support from a therapist with self-guided online modules over eight weeks. Researchers will measure how your mood and anxiety symptoms change before, during, and after the program, with follow-up check-ins at one and two years.
Many people experience significant anxiety and depression related to money worries, and this treatment is based on therapy methods that have already proven helpful for depression, anxiety, and stress in other research. This study aims to see whether this type of therapy works well specifically for financial stress and can be delivered effectively online.

You would participate in the treatment program for eight weeks, completing online therapy modules on your own time while meeting weekly with a therapist for guidance and support. The therapist will help you work through the material and apply the techniques to your specific financial stress. After the eight weeks end, you'll be asked to complete follow-up surveys about your symptoms at one year and two years after starting the program.
