Background: There is a notable lack of empirical validation regarding the use internet-based emotion-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (IECBT) for counseling pregnant women. Objectives: This study examines feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness IECBT in women with suspected fetal anomalies.

All participants completed three pregnancy-specific stress questionnaires—the NuPDQ, Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory, Edinburgh Depression Scale—both before immediately after intervention. Results: Within-group analyses indicated that both methods, without involvement, led significant reductions stress, depression, symptoms by end intervention (P < 0.001). Between-group comparisons revealed significantly reduced (effect size = 0.055, P 0.007) depressive 0.480, 0.001) compared involvement. However, neither produced reduction 0.001, 0.787). Conclusions: Both approaches (with participation) are feasible, reliable, effective methods alleviating depression
