Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the progress and outcomes of clients receiving psychotherapy for common mental health problems in Ecuador. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How much do clients' psychological distress typically change during the course of their psychotherapy?
* What factors are associated with outcomes in real-world mental health services in Ecuador?

This study involves clients who are about to start psychotherapy at one of the participating mental health clinics in Ecuador. Participants will continue their regular psychotherapy sessions as usual. The only addition is that before their sessions, they will be asked to complete questionnaires about their general well-being. This routine check-in process will continue throughout their time in therapy. Contextual information will be collected before starting treatment, and satisfaction with the treatment and any contextual changes will be collected after treatment ends.
