This article aims to reflect on the technological adaptation for online interventions with the elderly. Despite advances in cognitive-behavioral interventional practices for this population, areas such as Design and User Experience can contribute to a better experience for the elderly with recommendations on the usability of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDICs). This is a theoretical study based on a review of the literature, in which reflections about: aging markers relevant to the use of TDICS, the relationship of the Brazilian elderly with technology, factors that inhibit the use of technology, integration of cognitive-behavioral therapy with technology and functional technology for the elderly. It discusses the interlocution of factors that mediate this interface between psychological practice with the elderly, technology, design and accessibility. It is concluded that, despite all the technological development available in this century, an incipient area of ??studies is identified, especially when a combination of knowledge is sought in favor of a more effective and inclusive psychological practice for this population
