About Feelpath

Turn real session language into practical emotion learning

Feelpath is a browser-based telehealth and emotion-learning platform that helps therapists and therapy clients turn consented session language into practical tools for reflection, emotional vocabulary, and progress review.

  • Browser-based sessions
  • Consent-based transcripts
  • Emotion-language tools
  • Between-session review

You can keep your existing EHR for scheduling, billing, claims, and the legal chart.

Nick Venturino, founder of Feelpath

The team behind Feelpath

Why Nick built Feelpath

Until my late twenties, I lived with alexithymia without knowing the word for it. Feelings often arrived as stress, body tension, shutdown, or confusion before I had language for what was happening.

Therapy helped me learn to notice, name, and work with those experiences. The process mattered deeply, but it could also be slow and hard to revisit once a session ended.

I started building Feelpath to make that learning more visible and usable, while keeping the therapeutic relationship and the clinician's judgment at the center.

Nick Venturino

Founder, Feelpath

Built through community use

300+ peer-led sessions on Feelpath

Since I founded Feelpath in San Francisco in 2025, I have hosted more than 300 peer-led sessions on the platform, including group sessions with members of a mental health community. That direct use has helped me shape the product.

These were peer-led community sessions. We do not present them as therapist adoption, clinical care, or clinical validation.

“I am deeply grateful for the platform that facilitates these peer group sessions and provides access to invaluable emotion wheels.”

What Feelpath does

Shared tools for learning from the work already happening in therapy

Browser-based telehealth

Therapists create or share a secure session link, and clients join in a modern web browser without downloading an app. Feelpath supports individual and multi-client sessions and is designed to replace the video-call layer, not the scheduling, billing, claims, or legal-record functions of an EHR.

Consent-based transcripts and session review

Before each session, every participant separately chooses whether Feelpath may save that person's words for Insights and whether to share those words with the therapist. If a participant does not save, their lines are not stored as transcript text and appear as redacted in stored transcripts. Sharing can be changed later, and each person can redact or delete their own transcript lines; deleting those lines also removes the associated Insights.

Emotion-language tools in session

Smart Emotion Wheels and transcript highlighting give clients a visual menu of emotion words when naming a feeling is difficult. These tools are intended to reduce language friction without coaching, interrupting, or making clinical decisions during the session.

Between-session learning for clients

Clients can revisit consented session excerpts, annotate emotions in context, review summaries, see emotion-vocabulary patterns, and review self-talk observations. The purpose is to bring clearer, session-specific material back into the next appointment.

What makes Feelpath different

Emotion learning, grounded in the session itself

View product comparison

A telehealth room plus an emotion-learning layer

Zoom is built for general video communication, while SimplePractice and TherapyNotes center broad EHR and practice-management workflows. We built Feelpath to sit beside your existing EHR, adding browser sessions, participant-controlled review, and emotion-language learning without requiring a practice-management migration.

Specific tools for emotion language and alexithymia

Mentalyc, Blueprint, and TherapyFuel emphasize AI documentation or clinician support. Our focus is shared emotion-language development through Smart Emotion Wheels, emotion annotation, vocabulary patterns, self-talk observations, and alexithymia-related reflection.

One workflow across the session and the week after it

How We Feel supports self-directed emotional check-ins, while Upheal and Blueprint combine broader AI-supported or EHR workflows. Our three-stage workflow connects the browser session, transcript-grounded review, and client reflection between appointments.

Two explicit participant choices

Before each session, each participant makes two separate choices: whether their words may be saved for Insights and whether those words may be shared with the therapist. Participants can later change sharing and redact or delete their own transcript lines.

Open about what is still exploratory

Through ALI, we're exploring whether session transcripts can help therapists notice language patterns related to alexithymia. This work has not yet been formally studied or validated, and we separate it clearly from current product capabilities.

Who uses Feelpath

Built for care where emotion language matters

We built Feelpath for:

  • English-speaking independent therapists and small private practices that run recurring telehealth sessions and want to keep their existing EHR.
  • Therapists serving clients who struggle to identify, differentiate, or verbalize emotions, including alexithymia-related presentations.
  • Therapists working in anxiety, depression, trauma-informed, neurodivergence, relational, or somatic contexts where emotion-language support is relevant.
  • English-speaking therapy clients whose clinicians use Feelpath and who opt into transcript-grounded review and between-session reflection.
  • Clinician-researchers and psychotherapy labs studying alexithymia, affect labeling, emotional granularity, psychotherapy processes, or digital measurement.

Feelpath is not a crisis service, diagnostic system, autonomous AI therapist, or substitute for licensed care. We built Feelpath for telehealth, and we currently support English.

How Feelpath works

A simple loop from session to learning

Browser-based therapy session with a client and therapist

01

Meet in the browser

The therapist shares a secure session link, and participants join in a modern web browser without downloading an app. The practice keeps its EHR for scheduling, billing, claims, and the legal chart.

Shared positive-emotion wheel alongside client and therapist video

02

Use shared tools when words get hard

At session start, each participant separately chooses whether their words may be saved for Insights and shared with the therapist. Optional live transcription, Emotion Wheels, and highlighting support the conversation; Feelpath's AI works from written transcript text, not video, voice, or facial analysis.

03

Review and keep building

Therapists can review and edit generated material, inspect transcript-linked excerpts, and copy or download what is useful into their existing workflow. Clients can revisit approved material and annotate emotions between sessions. Generated material can contain errors, so therapists review and edit it before use.

Trust and boundaries

Useful now, clear about what is still exploratory

Exploring language patterns related to alexithymia

Through ALI, we're exploring whether session transcripts can help therapists notice language patterns related to alexithymia. This work has not yet been formally studied or validated, and it does not provide validated scores, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations.

Read our draft ALI materials

Clinical judgment stays central

We built Feelpath to support clinical reflection and shared learning. It is not a healthcare provider, diagnostic, prescribing, crisis, triage, or autonomous treatment system, and it does not replace a therapist's interpretation or established protocols.

Transcript tools have clear controls

You can use Feelpath as a session room without saving transcript-based Insights. Before each session, we explain the saving and sharing choices, and participants can revisit them later.

How do transcript saving and sharing work?

At session start, each participant chooses whether their own words may be saved for Insights, and clients separately choose whether their therapist may view their saved transcript inside Feelpath. If someone declines saving, their lines are not stored as transcript text; sharing can be changed later, and participants can redact or delete their own lines, which also removes the associated Insights.

Understand saving and sharing

What data does Feelpath keep?

Feelpath does not store session audio or video on its own servers. When transcript-based features are used, Zoom processes the session and Feelpath stores participant-approved transcript lines and related Insights until they are deleted; provider account data is retained until account deletion.

See how Feelpath handles data

Does Feelpath diagnose alexithymia or make clinical decisions?

No. Feelpath does not diagnose alexithymia or make clinical decisions. Through ALI, we're exploring whether session transcripts can help therapists notice language patterns related to alexithymia. This work has not yet been formally studied or validated, and it does not provide validated scores, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations.
