Self-guided therapy for anxiety disorders has focused on various cognitive-behavioral treatments mediated by technologies such as web applications. This study aims to compare two groups of patients with panic disorder undergoing two clinical psychological treatment models: one traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and the other self-guided CBT using a digital application. An application was developed in which both treatment models follow the same eight-session CBT manual. Patients are evaluated using psychological assessments at the first and eighth sessions. The study includes 46 patients divided into two groups of 23 participants each. Both groups undergo individual assessments at the beginning and end of the treatment protocol.
