The aim of this study was to provide preliminary qualitative and quantitative evidence on the clinical utility of the UP-A delivered via telehealth (tUP-A). Three adolescents diagnosed with emotional disorders received the tUP-A through weekly individual therapy sessions via video call. Changes in several quantitative and qualitative variables were examined with the adolescents, the parents and the therapists acting as informants. The results based on pre-, post-treatment and follow-up (at three and six months) show a significant reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms in the three adolescents according to the different sources of information. Implications of the UP-A delivered via telehealth to improve access to evidence-based therapy for emotional disorders in the adolescent population are discussed.
