    The primary aim of this study was to address a gap found in the discipline of Psychology and mental health treatment in the Indonesian setting. Advances in technology and the changing lifestyle of Indonesians made distance mental health treatment a common practice. This study focuses on one of the few options for distance mental health treatment, Chat Telepsychotherapy, which has gained popularity among Indonesians, especially the Millennials and Gen Z in Indonesia. The main issue with the phenomenon was the unavailability of comprehensive, evidence-based guidelines on how to best execute such a therapy. Thus, this study aimed to create a manual that could help the community of Indonesian Clinical Psychologists to deliver Chat Telepsychotherapy to Indonesians. The study limits the scope to Indonesian Millennials and Gen Z who suffer from Minor Depression. This is because these generations are the primary users of such a service, and depression itself is found to be one of the most common mental health issues in Indonesia. To achieve the goal of this study, I used a qualitative method that used Collaborative Design with the help of online-focused group discussion. I collaborated with Indonesian clinical psychologists, Indonesian millennials, and Gen Z with minor depression to design the manual. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the participants' answers. The result of the study is a comprehensive manual that consists of nine chapters: 1) Introduction; 2) The Concept of Chat Telepsychotherapy; 3) Starting CT Practice; 4) General Guidelines for Conducting CT; 5) Specific Guidelines for Conducting CT; 6) Characteristics of Indonesian Millennials and Gen Z; 7) Minor Depressive Disorder; 8) Self-Harm; 9) CT Stages for Indonesian Millennial and Gen Z with Minor Depression. The main suggestion for future studies is to test the manual to assess its usability and effectiveness.
