CBT and behavioral worksheets

This is the part of the Rivet template library that does most of the day-to-day work of CBT and behavioral therapy. Thought records, behavioral experiments, exposure logs, activity check-ins, values clarification, sleep and mood tracking, the SUDS check-in you reach for after a grounding exercise. The worksheets you’ve been printing for fifteen years, now one tap inside the session. None of these are screening measures. There’s no total score, no severity band, no async send-to-client psychometrics to worry about. They’re clinical worksheets — structured space for a specific intervention.

​

What’s in this group

​

In-session or as homework

Most of these worksheets work in either mode. The split that matters in practice:

​

When to pull one mid-session

In a video session, open the picker from the top-right corner (Clinical templates ▾); outside a session, from the + menu or the client’s record. The CBT and behavioral group is one tap. Pick the worksheet and fill it as the session goes — you fill the fields as the client talks, and the client doesn’t see it. It’s a practitioner-side workspace.

​

As homework between sessions

The send-to-client flow is reserved for screening and outcome measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7, the trauma instruments). These worksheets aren’t sent as an async link — the clinical model is that the client fills them on paper or in their own notes app and brings the content into the next session. That’s the mode the underlying interventions were designed for. If you want the client to capture their own thought records or activity logs between sessions, the most common pattern is a shared note tool the client already uses (Apple Notes, Google Keep, a paper notebook). The Rivet template becomes the in-session review surface — you re-enter the content with them, which has its own clinical value (re-engagement, organization, the Socratic-ness of redoing the work together).

​

The ACT and self-compassion process measures

These three are questionnaires rather than worksheets — they measure a process you are working on rather than structuring the work itself. They sit here because the work they track is done with the worksheets above.

​

What lives elsewhere

A few worksheets that look like they’d belong here actually sit in adjacent groups:

• Calm place, Container, Body scan, Future template — EMDR resourcing and closure. See the EMDR templates group.
• Safety plan — Stanley & Brown 6-step suicide-risk safety plan. See the Crisis group.
• PCL-5, ITQ, CPSS-5, BSL-23 — trauma-symptom self-reports. See the screening group.
