Quick Actions
How it works
Three steps to measurable client growth.
Coping cards, exposure exercises, and CBT thought records. All assigned from one place.
Build the toolbox together
Clinicians assign coping cards, exposure exercises, or a thought record from the copeswipe platform. Clients swipe right to keep a skill, left to skip, or search for a specific coping card.
Clients practice between sessions
Guided exercises walk a client through a coping card in the moment, an exposure at their own pace, or a thought record on their phone. Thought records stay private until the client chooses to share one.
Review before the next session
Card use, exposure session logs, and shared thought records are waiting in the portal, reducing administrative burden and driving measurable outcomes.
Features
A coping toolbox for real life.
Swipe to discover
Intuitive design for real progress. Swipe right to save a skill, left to skip.
Personal toolbox
Every saved skill lands in a toolbox clients can return to between sessions.

Access a comprehensive library of clinician-approved interventions for anxiety, depression, panic, and more. Build personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that extend care seamlessly between sessions.
Why it works
Activates the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing your heart rate and signaling safety to your brain.
Box Breathing
A structured breathing pattern used by Navy SEALs to calm the nervous system. Breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, each for 4 counts.
Why it works
Fighting panic fuels it. Acceptance-based approaches (ACT) show that observing without resistance shortens panic episodes significantly.
Panic Surfing
Instead of fighting a panic attack, observe it like a wave, it will crest and fall on its own within minutes.
Why it works
Redirects your brain from anxious thoughts to sensory input, breaking the worry cycle and activating present-moment awareness.
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding
Engage all five senses to anchor yourself in the present moment when anxiety spirals.
Why it works
Depression tells you to withdraw. Research shows that doing activities (even small ones) before feeling motivated breaks the depression cycle.
Behavioral Activation
Schedule one small, meaningful activity today, even if you don't feel like it. Action often comes before motivation.
Why it works
Exhaling longer than inhaling stimulates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system, directly countering anger's fight-or-flight activation.
Cool-Down Breathing
Extended exhale breathing, breathe in for 4 counts, out for 8. The long exhale activates your calming response.
Why it works
ACT defusion technique, creates distance between you and your thoughts. You learn that you can observe difficult thoughts without becoming them.
Leaves on a Stream
Visualize placing each difficult thought on a leaf and watching it float away down a gentle stream.
Exposure therapy
Build an exposure hierarchy. Watch habituation happen.
Assign graded exposures, and clients log each attempt with anxiety ratings before, at peak, and after. Every session lands in your portal as structured data, so progress between appointments is something you can read rather than reconstruct.

Presented the quarterly numbers in the team meeting. Lost my place halfway through and had to restart a slide.

- Embarrassed: 7/10, re-rated 3/10
Automatic thought
Everyone could tell I was falling apart. They think I can't handle this job.

Cognitive distortions
- Mind Reading
- Catastrophizing
- All-or-Nothing Thinking
Evidence for
I did lose my place. Two people were looking at their laptops.
Evidence against
Nobody brought it up afterward. My manager asked a normal follow-up question. I restarted the slide and covered everything. People look at laptops in every meeting.
Alternative thought
I stumbled for a moment and recovered. One rough patch in a presentation does not say much about whether I can do this job.

“copeswipe helps reinforce the skills learned in therapy and empowers clients to use those coping techniques more effectively in their daily lives.”
Brooke Buck, MA, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
Psychotherapist and Owner of Cloud Break Therapy
“As an outpatient therapist working with adolescents through older adults, I am always searching for effective strategies that can fit into any life stage. The ease of incorporating copeswipe into sessions, and clients' utilization in their daily lives, make this app a highly recommended therapy tool!”
Adrienne Maimone, LCSW
Psychotherapist
“What I like most about copeswipe is that it gives my patients access to free coping tools right when they need them. It's easy to use and always available on their phone, so they don't have to remember everything we talked about during an appointment. I spend a lot of time teaching coping skills, but it's common for patients to forget the details once they leave. copeswipe gives them a simple way to go back to those skills, or find new ones, when they're feeling stressed or overwhelmed. I like that the tools are evidence-based, practical, and easy to apply in everyday life. It's a resource I feel confident recommending to my patients.”
Rachel Coulter, PMHNP

“I appreciate that it has so many Free Coping Cards, even before logging in! The fact that it is Therapist led is even better! I love the idea of this and how much thought and care was put into creating it!”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
copeswipe is a HIPAA ready clinical platform designed exclusively for mental health professionals to extend care between sessions. It empowers clinicians to securely assign exercises grounded in CBT, ERP, and other evidence-based modalities. By monitoring patient adherence, clinicians can use actionable data to drive Measurement-Based Care.
Yes. copeswipe is engineered with a privacy-first architecture, using encryption and secure data-handling practices designed to meet HIPAA standards for protecting patient information.
Coping cards are clinician-authored, evidence-based interventions designed for between-session patient practice. Within copeswipe, therapists assign targeted exercises, ranging from CBT techniques to grounding strategies, that patients practice independently. This digital toolbox allows clinicians to monitor patient adherence and collect structured, quantitative feedback, providing the vital data points necessary to drive Measurement-Based Care and inform in-session treatment planning.
Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD. A clinician plans gradual contact with what triggers a client's obsessions, then supports the client in not performing the compulsion. The APA and NICE name it first-line, and exposure-based methods are used more broadly across anxiety presentations. Much of ERP happens between sessions, in the client's own environment. copeswipe is where clinicians assign that practice and review it.
A thought record is a core cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) worksheet. A client writes down a situation, the emotions and automatic thoughts that came with it, and the evidence for and against those thoughts, then works toward a more balanced alternative. Much of that work happens between sessions. In copeswipe, clinicians assign thought records by phase, clients complete them on their phone, and each client chooses whether a record stays private or is shared with their clinician.
Therapists integrate copeswipe into their practice to assign evidence-based clinical interventions, including CBT, ERP, and mindfulness strategies, for between-session reinforcement. As clients practice these skills independently, copeswipe tracks usage and patient-reported outcomes, providing clinicians with structured, objective data to inform in-session treatment planning and enhance therapeutic continuity.
copeswipe provides evidence-based protocols and intervention cards tailored for anxiety, depression, panic disorder, anger management, and sleep difficulties. Our clinical library is developed to support a wide range of patient needs across life stages, with new, evidence-based content added regularly.
