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

Open the Templates tab from the session toolbar. The CBT and behavioral group is one tap. Pick the worksheet, and the renderer drops into the right pane beside the video. You fill the client-facing fields as they talk, and the client doesn’t see it on their side — it’s a practitioner-side workspace. If you want the client to see and fill it themselves, screen-share the renderer to the client through the whiteboard surface. Same template, the client can read every prompt, and you can talk through it together.

​

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).

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 Distress + trauma screening group.
