Anxiety doesn’t wait for a therapy appointment. The Helpy AI assistant is there when you need support, day or night. CBT without a Therapist brings together evidence-based methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): an AI assistant built around CBT, a thought journal, a mood tracker, panic support, an anxiety course, guided exercises and psychological tests. ONE SYSTEM ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Helpy is the only app where the phone app, the watch app, the Mac app and the website work as one system. Your journal, mood log, test results and conversations with Helpy are the same everywhere: start a conversation on your watch, continue on your phone, come back to a journal entry on your computer. What’s inside? HELPY AI ASSISTANT Tell Helpy what’s going on, by text or by voice. Trained in CBT methods, the AI assistant helps you work through anxious thoughts, understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, ask yourself the right questions and choose a technique. Helpy remembers what worries you, so you don’t have to start over every time. If a conversation points to a crisis, Helpy stays with you and shows where to get urgent help. THOUGHT JOURNAL Write down situations, thoughts and emotions, or dictate them. Helpy analyzes your entries using CBT principles, spots cognitive distortions, helps you look at the situation from a different angle and suggests exercises. Export the whole journal or a single entry to PDF and take it to your therapist. MOOD TRACKER Log your mood in a couple of taps. A monthly calendar and statistics for any period show how your mood changes and what affects it. You can discuss the chosen period with Helpy. SUPPORT FOR PANIC ATTACKS Breathing exercises, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding and step-by-step DBT skills that help you ride out the peak of panic and gradually regain a sense of control. Many exercises have audio guidance. REDUCING ANXIETY COURSE Five step-by-step modules. The first one is free. EXERCISES FOR STRESS, MOTIVATION AND CHANGE Practical techniques to reduce tension and recover from overload, take action when you don’t feel like doing anything, and handle anxiety about change and uncertainty. PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS 7 tests: anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9 and the CES-D scale), self-esteem (Rosenberg scale), sleep, procrastination and a trauma and stress screening (PC-PTSD-5). Each test shows your level on the scale. It’s a guide, not a diagnosis. 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.
