help Pacifica FAQ

Did Pacifica provide live text therapy, or was it a self-guided app?

Pacifica was primarily a self-guided mobile app built around CBT, mindfulness, mood tracking and relaxation, not a replacement for a licensed therapist or emergency service. The 2019 clinical trial describes Pacifica Premium as guided self-help, so an on-demand text-therapy label should be checked against the specific version. [Clinical trial](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6592477/)

What Pacifica exercises target anxious thoughts and panic?

Its documented tools include mood and health check-ins, breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, guided meditation, daily goals and thought records for identifying cognitive distortions. The version studied included 35 days of guided paths and more than 40 audio activities. [Clinical trial](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6592477/)

Can Pacifica replace therapy or crisis care?

No. It is a self-management tool, not diagnosis, emergency response or a substitute for professional treatment; a 2019 randomized study involved 500 adults with mild-to-moderate anxiety or depression, which is evidence about an app study rather than a promise of individual care.
