The development of depressive symptomology and other social-emotional disorders is common during adolescence (Rapee et al., 2019; van Harmelen et al., 2015). Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills can effectively target a critical factor in social-emotional disorders-emotion dysregulation (Hermosillo-de-la-Torre et al., 2023). Animal-assisted counseling (AAC) can decrease depressive symptomology and accelerate therapeutic rapport (Eaton-Stull et al., 2021; Parish-Plass, 2018). Despite the literature found, there is a lack of research integrating AAC with evidence-based treatment and mental health treatment studies focusing on depression and emotion regulation skills in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a 6-week DBT-informed skills group using AAC on emotion dysregulation and depressive symptomology in adolescents at a South Texas counseling training clinic.Participants in this study were adolescents aged 13-15 years old (N=5). This study utilized snowball sampling to recruit participants. This was a single-case research design with a pre-treatment baseline phase, a treatment phase, and a post-treatment baseline phase (A-B-A). This single-case research design explored changes in participants' emotion dysregulation and depressive symptoms throughout the 12-week study. The quantitative analysis utilized examined changes throughout the study, as measured by The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (DERS-SF) and Mood & Feelings Questionnaire-Short Version (MFQ-SV).The results derived from the data indicate that the DBT-informed skills incorporating AAC were effective at decreasing some participants' emotion dysregulation and depressive symptomology. The treatment effects, while varying in effectiveness, demonstrated that participants who engaged with the professional therapy animal showed improvement in symptomology and dysregulation, regardless of effect size. This finding is particularly noteworthy, excluding the one participant who did not complete treatment.The implications of this study are promising. They support the existing literature that DBT skills and AAC are beneficial for adolescents' social-emotional state. The findings of this study strongly indicate that an AAC DBT-informed skills group has the potential to create a positive therapeutic environment and increase knowledge of emotion regulation skills.
