Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Efficacy, Feasibility, and Implementation Perspectives

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) has emerged over the last two decades as a structured, evidence-based approach to treating depression, anxiety, and related disorders. This review summarizes the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of guided iCBT interventions compared to traditional face-to-face CBT and other control conditions. Clinical trials and systematic reviews demonstrate comparable outcomes between iCBT and conventional CBT, with additional benefits in accessibility and cost-effectiveness. Special attention is given to the Moroccan context, highlighting both opportunities and barriers for widespread implementation. Recommendations include therapist training, infrastructural support, and policy integration to maximize the potential of iCBT.
