Wysa

The chatbot conversations feel more natural than most scripted self-help tools. You describe how you’re feeling and Wysa responds with a relevant CBT technique, breathing exercise, or simply a prompt to work through what’s on your mind. All of this happens without creating a profile, which matters to users who want real privacy above everything else.

Coaching through Wysa connects you to a human coach for text-based sessions, available as a paid add-on. It’s not therapy with a licensed clinician, and the app doesn’t present it as such. What it does offer is a research-backed self-help layer that has been tested in several published studies, with results showing measurable reductions in anxiety scores among regular users.
