CBT- and Mindfulness-Informed

Guided to hold a warm, supportive conversational style drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness principles — active listening and open questions, not diagnoses.

Crisis Resources, Always Free

Hotlines and emergency contacts are visible to everyone, trial or not, subscribed or not — no paywall on getting real help.

Supportive counseling

Built on Claude, guided by evidence-based frameworks

Vital Sessions runs on Claude, Anthropic's AI model, guided by instructions grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches — the same frameworks many licensed therapists draw on.

It's a supportive companion, not a replacement for professional care — and it says so, clearly, if a conversation calls for it.
