Sumario:	This qualitative study explored how online individual art-therapy based (ATB) self-help tasks could support international students during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Twenty-two students participated in 7 weekly online asynchronous sessions that included both art-making and reflecting writing. Emergent themes included: (1) frustration of isolation, (2) loss of control, and (3) support (nature, transpersonal, attachment). Implications of the study offer preliminary evidence that when there is not a possibility for an in-person or real-time encounter, ATB self-help tasks may be a source of coping.
