This paper identified patterns of goal-based outcome (GBO) engagement in digital therapy for adults. Goals were examined for level of progress on goal, pattern of engagement with self-set vs. collaboratively-set goals and the influence of key presenting issues on goal progress. Results showed that goals set collaboratively with a practitioner were successfully achieved more than those set independently, as well as those with a practitioner-recorded presenting issue. These insights suggest that goals are useful for monitoring therapeutic progress with adults within the digital context.
