Apps That May Support Your Therapy Journey
As part of your therapy process, you may find it helpful to use certain apps between sessions. While therapy provides space for deeper exploration, insight, and guided support, some digital tools can reinforce skills, increase awareness, and help you practice what we discuss in real time.
Below are examples of apps that clients have found useful for support with mindfulness, mood tracking, habit building, journaling, and emotional regulation.
These tools are not a replacement for therapy, but they can serve as helpful companions in your growth process.
Insight Timer is a widely used meditation and mindfulness app known for its massive free library of guided meditations, music, talks, and ambient soundscapes designed to support stress relief, sleep, focus, and overall well-being. It includes thousands of sessions led by meditation teachers, psychologists, and experts, as well as a highly customizable meditation timer for self-guiding practice.
Headspace is a popular mindfulness and mental wellness app designed to help users reduce stress, build healthy habits, improve sleep, and practice meditation through expert-led exercises and guided sessions. It offers a large library of science-backed guided meditations, relaxation and breathing exercises, and tools for managing anxiety and mood, as well as sleep resources like soundscapes and bedtime meditations. The app also includes personalized recommendations and optional features such as AI support and mental health coaching to support overall well-being.
How We Feel is a free emotional wellbeing and mood tracking app designed to help users better understand, label, and manage their emotions through daily check-ins and reflective tools. Built in collaboration with researchers and emotional intelligence experts, it uses a color-coded emotion system to make it easier to pinpoint how you feel and why, and tracks lifestyle factors (like sleep and activity) to help you spot patterns over time. The app also offers practical strategies, insights, and optional sharing with trusted friends to support emotional awareness, regulation, and healthier responses to stress and life’s ups and downs.
Finch is a gamified self-care and wellness app that helps users build healthy daily habits, track mood, and practice mindfulness by caring for a virtual pet bird. As you complete wellness tasks, like journaling, mood check-ins, goal setting, and brief mindful exercises, your finch gains energy, goes on adventures, and earns rewards, making self-improvement feel fun and interactive rather than a chore.
