This study is looking at a new way to deliver cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to adolescents who have depression and are also overweight or obese. CBT is a type of talk therapy that helps you change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. In this study, participants will receive a six-week, six-session group CBT program delivered online, along with a special digital app. The app is designed to help you practice CBT skills and complete homework between sessions. Researchers want to see if this approach is acceptable and practical for participants, and if the app is also acceptable. To join, you must be 12-17 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 85th percentile for your age and sex, and have elevated depression symptoms. You cannot have Type 2 diabetes or certain other medical conditions. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current status is unclear.
