Let's talk about fit, workflow, setup, and what happens next
What is Feelpath?
Feelpath is a telehealth platform designed specifically for therapy, with support for both clinicians and clients.
Feelpath supports early-stage emotion skill development by making emotion work more observable, more interactive, and more revisitable over time.
It supports that work in three ways.
- In session: For clients, emotion wheels offer a menu of emotions to point to when finding the right word is tough. For therapists, we have designed our tools to be invisible and non-disruptive. You can feel more present in the conversation, knowing you can review Session Insights after the call.
- After session: Feelpath Insights help you notice patterns and what is worth returning to next time. Insights give you a short, usable map of the session: what stood out, what shifted, and where to go next.
- Over time: Feelpath helps you and your clients see small shifts across sessions, so you can talk about change in a concrete way. Clients can notice progress markers that are otherwise easy to miss early on, like more emotion-word differentiation. You may also notice gains in a client's capacity for emotional regulation.

Why is Feelpath helpful?
Feelpath is designed to support emotional skill acquisition by turning therapy conversations into repeated emotional learning moments. Because Feelpath uses a client's own therapy material, it reinforces a labeling and reflection practice.
This process reinforces interoceptive awareness (also called interoception), the ability to notice and make sense of internal and emotional signals, through repetition until emotional awareness and regulation are more accessible in real-life moments and under stress.
- Some clients can't find words in the moment. Our tool gives them options to recognize/select instead of inventing words from scratch, which reduces pressure and helps language access.
- Working with real session excerpts supports emotion differentiation: clients compare suggested emotion words on specific moments and choose what fits best (for example, shame, fear, or anger).
- Once an emotion is named with more precision, clients can reflect rather than only react. In affect labeling research, this shift is associated with greater prefrontal engagement and lower amygdala reactivity, which can increase the flexibility in your response to an emotion.
- Revisiting personal session material between sessions turns one-time insights into a repeated practice and deeper growth.
- Emotion Annotation turns reflection into active between-session practice: clients revisit their own excerpts, choose the emotion words that fit best, and return to the next session with clearer emotional language.
- Pattern visibility across sessions helps clients recognize recurring triggers, narratives, and needs ("this is my pattern").
- Better understanding and identification of emotions, plus better pattern recognition improves communication, regulation choices, and follow-through in real life.

Who is Feelpath for?
Feelpath is usually a strong fit for:
- Therapists who are deeply care-driven and want to provide the most supportive environment for their clients to learn and grow.
- Therapists who see emotions as central to therapy and prioritize emotional clarity as the foundation for regulation and change.
- Therapists who are already actively working together with their clients to build an emotional vocabulary and the emotional capacity their clients need.
Other things that make someone a fit:
- Tech-ready and open to trying new, practical, and workflow-friendly tools in their own practice
- Beyond Feelpath's core role as an emotional learning platform, it is also a strong fit for therapists who want searchable transcripts and AI-assisted progress-note starters and session summaries.

What will feel different in session?
Feelpath was designed from the beginning as "invisible infrastructure", meaning the goal of our platform is to fade into the background, leaving the work and the human connection in the foreground.
The in-session experience is calm and distraction-free, showing only what you need, so attention and presence stay in the conversation. Our beautiful layout with light, clean colors allows for both one-on-one and group sessions. High-quality audio and video remain steady and reliable. And supports like the emotion wheels and live transcription only appear when you choose to open them, keeping sessions uninterrupted.
- Emotion wheels: a visual menu of words you can pull up when a client can describe events but not name the feeling yet. Core Emotions, Primary Emotions, Expression Resistant Feelings, and Positive Self-Regard.
- Live transcript: you can open the Audio Transcript in a side panel during session. It is there for accessibility and for quickly checking exact wording. It is searchable.
Our goal is for Feelpath to offer the best possible in-session telehealth experience. However, Feelpath's strongest value comes after session, where post-session reflections turn the conversation into usable observations, follow-up direction, and interactive tools for both you and your clients.

Will this create more work for me?
Our goal in creating Feelpath is to keep you present during session, and more informed between sessions. In day-to-day use, the target is no net extra time. Here is a quick overview of how your workflow changes:
Feelpath ROM and MBC
ROM = Routine Outcome Monitoring. MBC = Measurement-Based Care.
In psychotherapy, this means regularly collecting brief standardized outcome measures (often patient-reported), reviewing change over time, and using that signal in treatment decisions.
In practice, people sometimes use ROM and MBC interchangeably, but a useful distinction is: ROM = collect and track outcomes routinely; MBC = collect + share + act on those outcomes in care decisions.
Significant time savings if ROM/MBC is part of your practice, because collection, scoring, and review-prep steps are automated.
No added workflow effort if ROM/MBC is not central to your routine. These outputs are generated automatically in the background.
Feelpath blended care
Feelpath's blended care combines face-to-face care with adjunctive digital care in one treatment model (for example, live sessions + structured between-session digital components like the Emotion Learning Platform, Smart Emotion Wheel, and Emotion Annotation).
It can be integrated (both run in parallel) or sequential (digital before/after live treatment).
Significant time savings if blended care is part of your practice, because between-session signals are already organized before the next session.
No added workflow effort if blended workflows are not your focus. Core session workflow remains intact, with automation running in the background.
Feelpath Documentation
Progress Notes. Treatment Plans.
Draft documentation is generated automatically and remains editable. The clinical work shifts from writing from scratch to a quick review-and-refine pass.
Moderate time savings if documentation workflows are part of your practice, because first drafts are prepared automatically.
No added workflow effort if documentation workflows are not your immediate focus. Drafts are still generated automatically when needed.
Net effect: superhero-level clinical visibility and continuity, without adding admin drag to your week.

What will my client experience?
Therapy still feels like therapy: the conversation and connection you have with your client.
The difference shows up when your client gets stuck. Instead of going blank or defaulting to "I don't know," they have a shared way to slow down, find language, and stay connected to what they actually feel.
Between sessions, clients can keep learning from the same conversation: review what was expressed, explore what may have been unexpressed, and annotate emotions in context.
Over time, clients can see and name real progress: more precise emotion language, earlier awareness, better regulation, and stronger communication in daily life.
Use the preview card to walk through the exact client workflow: emotion wheels in session, post-session Insights review, emotion-word practice in real excerpts, quick Emotion Analytics, and transcript tools to edit, redact, or download text.

Do I have to switch platforms to use Feelpath?
Yes and No. To use Feelpath, you’ll need to host your telehealth video sessions on Feelpath, meaning you and your clients will log into Feelpath.com to join your video calls, but you can continue using your existing EHR platform like SimplePractice for your practice management. If you currently use SimplePractic for your video calls, then it's likely you'll be able to switch to Feelpath with minimal effort, as long as you have flexibility to choose your video platform for your practice. We make this change simple and straightforward.
If you’re required to use a specific video platform for your practice, Feelpath may not fit right now. But it’s okay to revisit later if that changes.
