| Abstract: | Background: Different responses have been developed to address the high demand for mental health care, one of which is the implementation of single-session therapy interventions. This intervention has several potential advantages, such as accessibility and cost-effectiveness. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a specific type of single-session therapy based on narrative therapy. This study was conducted at a Brazilian university and involved participants from the general population across various states, recruited through an online research invitation. Method: Fifty-six clients were assigned to an online narrative single-session therapy, and forty were assigned to a wait-list control group. Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 (OQ-45.2) was used to assess the pre-post change in distress. Results: A significant main effect of time (F(1, 93) = 55.164, p <.001) and a significant interaction effect between group and time (F(1, 93) = 13.394, p <.001) were found. Conclusion: The results suggest that online narrative single-session interventions might be effective, and as such, further studies are needed to replicate and expand these results.
