Mobile Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Early Stroke Recovery
This study aims to pilot "Maya," a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy app, for use in adults with stroke experiencing depression and/or anxiety. This study will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of Maya within the acute rehabilitation period.

Exclusion: Aphasia or neglect that would interfere with use of the app, as determined through evaluation by speech-language pathology and occupational therapy conducted as part of standard clinical care; History of a major neurologic disorder or of serious mental illness (bipolar or psychotic disorder, alcohol or substance use disorder as assessed through chart review); Severe depression and/or anxiety based on the initial evaluation and clinical judgment of the PI, which warrants a higher level of care and/or immediate referral to psychiatric services; Non-fluency in English; Active suicidal ideation requiring a higher level of care; Any other clinical or medical reason in the initial evaluation that suggests the study is not appropriate for the participant.
