Abstract: Despite the high prevalence of anxiety and depression in the child population, and the availability of some protocolized programs that have shown their effectiveness, a high percentage of Ecuadorian children do not have access to psychological treatment. Waiting lists for mental health services and the excessive time elapsed between sessions make it difficult for children and adolescents to receive the psychological treatment they need in a timely and effective manner. An alternative that can provide a solution to the difficulties in accessing psychological treatment is the application of online treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral multimedia program, based on the Super Skills for Life program, in Ecuadorian children from 8 to 12 years old with internalized problems. In addition, we intend to analyze the most prevalent internalized problems, to know the variables that may influence the effectiveness of the program, and to compare the internalized problems. The program consists of 8 sessions that are carried out autonomously by the child, under the supervision of parents and the guidance of previously trained psychologists. In each session the child learns skills that help him/her to cope with everyday and difficult life situations. Among the components of the program are emotional education, social skills, problem-solving training, and relaxation. Among the results found, it is determined: decrease in the interference of anxiety in the lives of parents and subjects, improvement of internalizing problems: decrease in behavioral problems and problems with peers, increase in social skills and self-esteem.
