During the COVID-19 pandemic, women have had to face different psychosocial problems. For this reason, psychoeducational interventions based on web-based resources have been developed to address their mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the pilot of a psycho-emotional support web platform based on elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy in Mexican women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test evaluations, 73 women between 18 and 68 years old (M = 43.42 years, SD = 12.40) had access to this platform for one month, which contained four thematic modules (stress, anxiety, depression and violence). They also received two complementary three-hour synchronous sessions. All participants reported similar levels of emotional symptoms (p > 0.05), as well as perceiving violence exerted by their partners (p > 0.05). The web platform and its psychoeducational content turned out to be quality informative resources; however, no statistically significant changes were observed in the psychological variables in question. Web platforms and emotional support applications should be developed according to the needs and characteristics of the population for which they are designed; this will promote greater satisfaction and reduce therapeutic abandonment.
