Providing psychodynamic psychotherapy online for adolescents is receiving increasing attention. Adolescent depression is an urgent issue worldwide, and designing treatments that are not only effective but also accessible and practical is a challenge. With the technological interest and savvy shared by many adolescents, creative treatment delivery methods such as internet-based approaches have developed and have been shown to be effective for cognitive behavioral therapy. With growing empirical support for the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy in treating adolescents, Linqvist et al. (2020) conducted a randomized controlled study to assess its effectiveness when delivered in an online format, with promising results. Providing psychodynamic psychotherapy online for adolescents is a promising option. This article presents the study and its findings.
