That reality is here.

The Mental Wellness Gap Demands Innovation

Mental wellness support has been an alarming issue globally. Approximately 280 million people worldwide are affected by depression.

Traditional barriers include limited access, costly support, provider shortages, and persistent stigma around mental wellness.

Brightn's AI eliminates these barriers completely.

Evidence-Based Interventions

Our AI is trained on multiple therapeutic approaches to provide targeted support:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) CBT focuses on identifying toxic thoughts and behaviors, reframing thinking patterns, and restructuring self-limiting beliefs. This approach helps with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, and ADHD.

The AI helps you restructure thought patterns for more positive responses during stressful situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) DBT is specialized for individuals who find it challenging to manage their emotions or regulate their moods. It's designed to help people who process emotions more deeply than others.

DBT is used to address personality disorders and is effective for addressing interpersonal conflicts, self-harm, and substance use challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ACT is a mindful approach that helps you think forward rather than backward. It keeps you grounded in the present moment and helps you relate to your experiences in healthier ways. Mindfulness keeps you grounded.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) SFBT provides solutions derived from your current situation rather than digging into past experiences. It focuses on short-term, targeted problem-solving for immediate relief.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) MI helps you find internal motivation for sustainable behavior change and builds confidence in your ability to create lasting positive changes.

Advanced Crisis Management Protocol

According to research, there is a growing need for mental health apps to enact crisis management resources for cases of suicidal ideation and self-harm.

Brightn's crisis protocol:

  • Monitors conversations for signs of trauma, flashbacks, severe hopelessness, emotional overwhelm, panic attacks, and dissociation

S2E9: Navigating Mental Health from the Frontlines with Dr. Richard Lopez

Social neuroscientist Dr. Richard Lopez (WPI SNAP Lab) joins Jeff Johnston to break down how the brain navigates emotion, attention, and relationships—and how AI journaling can help Gen Z move from rumination to action. We cover cognitive reappraisal (reframing), simple gratitude practices, and values-based micro-habits that build resilience during high-stress seasons like the first weeks of college.
