Built for real sessions
These tools are designed to be opened when you need them—not studied for twenty minutes beforehand. Use them to explore a pattern, generate an idea, make something visible, or give a client a concrete next step.
More than digital worksheets
A webpage should earn the fact that it is interactive. DTT tools sort, generate, compare, map, reveal, and organize information in ways that a blank worksheet often cannot.
Created by a practicing therapist.
Digital Therapy Tools was created by Sean Steele, Ed.D., MSW, LCSW, an outpatient mental health therapist. Many of the tools begin with the same question that comes up in actual clinical work: “I understand the pattern. Now what do we do with it?”
The collection is built around practical clinical reasoning, accessible language, and interventions that help clients see what is happening—not just talk about it. Some tools support the clinician behind the scenes; others are meant to be worked through collaboratively in session and leave the client with something useful afterward.
What guides the toolbox
1
Recognize first, generate second.Choices, prompts, and quick selections reduce blank-page friction while still leaving room for a client's own words.
2
The interaction should help do the therapy.The value is not just a prettier handout. The process of sorting, comparing, mapping, or choosing should help create insight.
3
The takeaway should help the therapy stick.When it makes sense, the work done in session becomes a clean summary, plan, map, or reminder the client can revisit later.
4
Clinical judgment stays with the clinician.DTT provides structure and possibilities—not automated treatment decisions. Clinicians remain responsible for deciding what fits the client, context, goals, and scope of practice.
