There has been tremendous interest in utilizing digital interventions to assist in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders are widely prevalent and often characterized by avoidance, intolerance of uncertainty, interpersonal concerns, and worry. Digital mental health interventions, given their flexibility, may be particularly suited to this population. The authors review the literature on the use of videoconference, virtual reality, website self-help, and mobile applications in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Empirical evidence, advantages, and disadvantages of each format are considered. Additionally, we identify clinical and social challenges unique to the use of these technologies for intervention purposes.
