This study is a randomized-controlled trial in which the assumed superiority of the module internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for social anxiety disorder is evaluated compared to a waitlist control group. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups, treatment which have web-based intervention (guided), and waitlist.

The intervention program will be offered to treatment group participants (guided) through the website https://kendikendineyardim.org, the unique online self-help platform in Turkey. Participants in the web-based treatment group will receive feedback message within 24 hours after each completed module from the guides.

The intervention program consists of five modules. Each module can be completed in 30-40 minutes. Each module starts with the evaluation of the exercises given at the end of the previous module and ends with a between-module exercise. The module includes text, interactive forms, animated videos, audio recordings, and images.

The duration of the program will be approximately five to seven weeks. However, participants will be allowed to follow the program at their own speed. No limitations will be imposed other than the completion of no more than one module per day. Users can use the system with their e-mail addresses and passwords.

The data will be compared with suitable statistical techniques.
