Values, thoughts, and behavior change in one chart.
A values card sort, thought records, behavioral activation, and a CBT-I sleep diary — free to use, and built to carry structured homework into the note.
The ACT / CBT toolkit.
Understanding ACT / CBT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) share a practical, skills-based core: clarifying values, defusing from unhelpful thoughts, restructuring cognitions, and activating behavior change between sessions.
The documentation is the worksheets — values card sorts, thought records, and behavioral-activation plans — and tracking whether the client followed through. Scattered across PDFs, they are hard to review and easy to lose.
CoralEHR brings the ACT/CBT toolkit into one chart: a free values card sort, a CBT thought record, and a behavioral-activation planner, each drafting into the note. The tools are free on their own; no session is recorded, and you sign every note.
