The Mindful Mood Balance (MMB) program, a digitally delivered version of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, combined with usual depression care, produced greater improvements in decentering, mindfulness, and rumination than usual care alone among adults with residual depressive symptoms. Changes in these three processes each predicted a lower likelihood of depressive relapse. The findings indicate that the program's benefits operate through the same mechanisms as in-person mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and that these mechanisms can be engaged through digital delivery.
