What is an AI companion for stress management?

An AI companion for stress management is a tool that makes mental health support accessible 24/7. Therapy Ally is an AI companion that was built to offer support in between therapy sessions for stress and other mental health concerns, using evidence-based therapeutic methods. Think of it like a helpful Ally you can have a conversation with when you’re having a hard day, feeling overwhelmed, or just want to check in on how you’re feeling.

Therapy Ally can provide evidence based guidance for people when they encounter stressful situations. It will listen and provide unbiased guidance about how to best navigate through the stress. It can provide mindfulness exercises that really work to lower your stress responses in the moment and thoughtful guidance on how to reduce the stress related to the situation over the long term. While Therapy Ally is not intended to replace therapy or to address emergencies, it’s a great companion for issues that come up in day to day life.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • AI companions are a helpful support tool to help manage your mental health, including daily stress. 

    It’s best to use an AI companion like Therapy Ally alongside traditional therapy sessions. A licensed therapist will be able to provide you with comprehensive emotional support and guidance. 

    Then, you can use your AI companion whenever you need extra support in between therapy sessions, such as when you’re having a stressful day at work and need a place to voice your thoughts.

  • You shouldn’t use an AI companion to replace traditional therapy or mental health professionals. A licensed therapist will be capable of providing more comprehensive emotional support, body language recognition, and personalized guidance than any AI mental health companion can. 

    Think of an AI companion like Therapy Ally as an extra support option during your mental health journey. For example, if you face daily stress, it can help to have a non-judgmental place to voice your thoughts or concerns and get some helpful guidance without having to wait until your next therapy session.

  • Therapy Ally is different from ChatGPT or other general AI tools because it was built for the sole purpose of providing mental health support. Therapy Ally was built from the ground up and trained on evidence-based therapeutic approaches and psychological principles to offer adaptable support during your mental health journey. 

    On the other hand, ChatGPT is more of a general AI tool. It’s helpful when you have a common question or task you need it to handle, but it will likely struggle if you ask it to help with mental health support. For example, it might give you a general answer about why stress happens, but it would struggle more to give you personalized advice about managing chronic stress that you’re experiencing.

  • We take your security and privacy seriously when you’re using Therapy Ally. All of your conversations in the app are encrypted, never shared, and never stored externally, so you can feel confident your data is protected.

  • Apps like Calm and Headspace are designed to provide you with options for guided meditation, mindfulness, and sleep aids. Those guided sessions can help you reduce stress, but you get much less personalization.
