    Behavioral

    Velibra is an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program developed by GAIA AG. It consists of six modules which are meant to be completed over a span of 6 weeks. The first module educates participants about anxiety and the treatment program. The second module focuses on cognitive techniques for dealing with anxiety. In the third module, relaxation techniques are practiced. The fourth module encourages the participant to practice non-anxious behaviors. In the fifth module, the central topic is the experience of social situations in non-anxious ways. The sixth and final module consists of a summary and recapitulation of the most important content.
