Real Cognitive Behavioral Therapy changed my life but I could not afford to continue either. The liven app follows real protocols closely. Not just mood tracking. It teaches you to identify cognitive distortions by name. Catastrophizing, mind reading, black and white thinking. Then it walks you through challenging that specific distortion step by step. That is exactly what my therapist did. Before trusting it, liven reviews from other people who did real therapy confirmed this app gets closer than any other budget option. Missing the human connection obviously. But for twenty dollars a month or whatever the free version gives you, it is the closest thing I found.
