Helpy: CBT without a Therapist

Helpy: CBT without a Therapist helps you work through your thoughts and emotions on your own and take care of your mental health. Tell Helpy, your AI therapist, what's on your mind. It asks questions, helps you separate facts from fears, and helps you figure out what to do next. It's built on evidence-based methods: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

AN AI THERAPIST THAT KNOWS YOU
Helpy remembers your conversations, journal entries, and test results, and updates your psychological profile every day: what matters to you right now, what keeps coming up, and what has helped before. So it talks to you like a therapist who's known you for a while, and you never have to start from scratch.
Send photos, chat screenshots, PDFs, and Word documents, and Helpy will read them and go over them with you. Type or dictate.

CBT JOURNAL: 15 TYPES
Write down the situation, the thought, and the feeling, and Helpy goes over the entry the way a therapist would in a session. Pick the journal that fits what you're working on:
• thoughts: thought diary, 3-column record, Beck's thought record, 7-column thought record, ABCDE, Burns Daily Mood Log, positive data log
• anxiety and panic: panic diary, worry log, exposure log, behavioral experiment
• mood and habits: mood diary, activity log, sleep diary, eating diary
Dictate entries, export your journal to PDF, and share it with your therapist.

MOOD TRACKER AND EMOTION JOURNAL
Log your mood in a couple of taps, right from the Home Screen widget: how pleasant your day feels and which word describes it best, from calm and joy to anxiety and anger. Helpy suggests an exercise for every mood. Weekly, monthly, 6-month, and yearly charts show how your mood changes over time. Talk any stretch of time through with Helpy, or share today's mood as an image.

ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACK RELIEF
Breathing exercises for panic attacks, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, and DBT skills that take the edge off anxiety. Many exercises come with audio: just press play.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS
11 tests: anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9 and CES-D), psychological distress (K10), burnout (BAT-12), adult ADHD (ASRS), self-esteem (Rosenberg), protective factors (PFRS), sleep (Jenkins Sleep Scale), procrastination, and trauma symptoms (PC-PTSD-5). Retake them every few weeks and see how your scores change.

CBT EXERCISES FOR STRESS AND BURNOUT
5–10-minute CBT, DBT, and ACT techniques for stress and overwhelm, burnout, low motivation, uncertainty, and worry about the future.

ON YOUR IPHONE, APPLE WATCH, MAC, AND THE WEB
Helpy goes wherever you go: your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and the web. Your journal, mood tracker, tests, and chats sync across all of them. On Apple Watch: talk to Helpy by voice and read the reply on your wrist, log how you feel, or start panic breathing with gentle haptics in one tap.
