Inclusion criteria are elevated symptoms of anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 9), depression (PHQ-9 ≥ 10), and/or stress (PSS ≥ 14). Participants will complete self-report questionnaires at baseline, post-treatment, and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups. Additionally, brief session questionnaires will be completed before and after each session. Recruitment will take place through general practi-tioners in the Aarhus area.
