Online and virtual therapies are a well-studied and efficacious treatment option for various mental and behavioral health conditions among children and adolescents. That said, many interventions have not concerned the unique affordances offered by technologies that might align with the capacities and interests of youth users. In this article, we discuss learnings from child-computer interaction that can inform future generations of interventions and guide developers, practitioners, and researchers how to best utilize new technologies for youth populations. We highlight issues related to usability and user experience including challenge and feedback, social interaction, and storytelling. We conclude with innovative examples illustrating future potentials of online and virtual therapies such as gaming and social networking.
