The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in every aspect of life. Online therapy creates both difficulties and learning opportunities for therapists. The literature shows that therapeutic presence is an important variable in efficacy and therapeutic change. Attitudes toward online therapy seem to impact the acceptance and adoption of telehealth interventions. The present cross-sectional study aims to understand whether attitudes toward online interventions and therapists' perceived difficulties in online therapy have an effect in therapeutic presence in a sample composed of psychologists and psychotherapists (N = 445). The data indicate that therapists' attitudes toward online interventions (s = .31;p < .001) and therapists' perceived difficulties (s = -.49;p < .001) are both significant predictors. These data have practical implications. Enhancing online psychological service could be done by improving therapeutic presence. Finally, ameliorating therapeutic presence could be possible by doing interventions on the other 2 variables under study. Further research is needed on this topic, which appears to be gaining importance in view of the ongoing pandemic. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement The results of this research suggest that both attitudes towards online therapy and difficulties perceived by therapists in online therapy have a significant effect on their therapeutic presence. The literature shows that during the present pandemic, with an enormous uncertainty facing the future, psychological support becomes even more necessary. Most therapists have been forced to start online therapy without experience and training, and more research is needed to clarify how we can improve online psychology services. The present research tried to find a possible way: it is suggested that doing interventions on difficulties perceived and in the attitudes towards online therapy the therapeutic presence of the therapist will increase. The therapeutic presence is a variable that appears in the literature as a common factor associated with a stronger therapeutic relationship and a more positive therapeutic alliance. These last two variables are considered as two consistent factors of change and effectiveness in psychotherapy. Research on how to improve online psychological support services is scarce, and thus a significant research effort is needed for present and future practical recommendations.

This study aims to examine the transition from face-to-face (FtF) to online psychotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we appraised the effectiveness of online psychotherapy (OT) during the COVID-19 pandemia. We assessed the implementation of the major components of the helping process and studied the factors that can predict this positive assessment, all from the point of view of the therapist. Participants were 192 psychotherapists recruited through a convenience sample, from three different regions in the country. Therapists were asked to assess three measures: the Effectiveness of Online Therapy (EOT), Online Therapy Preparedness (OTP), and Attitude Toward Telemedicine in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (ATiPP) Questionnaires. Associations between EOT, OTP, and ATiPP, as well as demographic and professional variables, were analyzed using bivariate analyses. A multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the contribution of the independent variables to EOT. Therapists reported high levels of EOT, OTP, and ATiPP. In addition, years of experience in therapy were found to contribute to EOT. Increasing exposure to online therapy through education as well as investing in the training and preparation of therapists in online therapy may be a pathway to enhance more effective OT, especially among those who have little experience. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Online psychotherapy has in many cases supplemented or even replaced face-to-face psychotherapy in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Therapists have been found to rate this passage to be effective. The attitudes of psychotherapists and their preparation for this type of therapy can contribute to this sense of effectiveness.

Although the alliance is usually considered a generic factor common to all therapies, there are theoretical reasons to suspect that the alliance may develop differently in different types of therapies. Yet, in youth psychotherapy little is known about this issue to date. This study investigated whether the mean strength of the alliance, as well as its trajectory over time, differed between three equally effective psychological treatments for adolescent depression. Data were drawn from the *anonymised* study, a randomized controlled trial comparing cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy (STPP) versus a brief psychosocial intervention (BPI) in the treatment of adolescent depression. Adolescents’ (N=338) and therapists’ (n=159) ratings of the alliance were collected using the Working Alliance Inventory short form (WAI-S) at 6, 12 and 36 weeks after randomization. Data were analysed using multilevel linear models. Results showed that adolescents’ and therapists’ mean alliance ratings differed between treatment types, being highest in CBT, and lowest in the STPP at all time points. Mean therapists’ alliance ratings increased slightly over time in all arms, while mean adolescents’ ratings were stable over time in CBT and BPI, but slightly increased in the STPP group. These findings suggest that the mean strength of the alliance differs between treatment type and future research is required to help pinpoint what factors contribute to these differences and their relationship with treatment outcomes.
