therapy apps

Phone-based mental support

Therapy apps are smartphone applications designed to support mental health through features like mood tracking, guided meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy exercises, or chat-based counseling.

They range from self-help tools to platforms connecting users with licensed therapists: I've been using a therapy app for my anxiety.

The term sometimes carries skepticism about whether an app can substitute for in-person treatment.
