This paper provides data on the experiences of 267 patients, all with self-reported symptoms of depression or anxiety, engaged in an interactive text-based delivery system for psychotherapy. The paper also offers a case study that illustrates the use of this treatment, indicating ways in which such systems can be useful for patients who may not access or benefit from more traditional therapeutic models.
