Comparison
Therapy and tools, side by side
Decision help
The buying-side companion to the guides: online therapy platforms, mental-health apps, workbooks, and journals on one page.
About
I'm a psychologist in Germany. I write here about therapy apps, online therapy platforms, CBT workbooks, and journals — what they help with, what they don't, and who should skip each one.
At a glance
Mental-health tools are easy to oversell and hard to compare. Most of the lists I'd find when a client asked me which workbook to start with were either ranked by a brand I didn't trust, or written by somebody who had never sat across from a person trying to choose. I wanted a place that named the limits up front and helped a reader pick the tool that actually fit their situation.
Online therapy platforms, therapy apps, CBT workbooks, journals, and psychology resources. Each review names who the tool helps, who should skip it, what the evidence is, and what the practical tradeoffs look like before you spend money or time on it.
I read what the maker says, check the public sources I can verify, test what I can hands-on, and write the review I'd want to read if I were the person making the decision. Where the evidence is thin, I say so. Where the tool isn't the right fit, I say that too.
If something I wrote is wrong, missing, or out of date, the contact page is the fastest way to flag it. I read everything that comes in. The way these reviews are edited lives in the editorial policy; the way each product is tested is in the review methodology.
