iCounselor - Anxiety

Description:

iCounselor - Anxiety is designed to be a portable tool to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and is based on the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy. Firstly you rate your level of anxiety on a scale of 0 to 10. You can then follow instructions for one of the calming activities. Next, you select one of the suggested ways to change your thoughts that trigger your anxiety and finally select a type of solution for your problem. At the end of this process, you again rate your anxiety, to monitor any change. You can repeat this process and select any of the calming activities, thought changes and solutions to suit you. The mobile app is available for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch.
