CBT practice EHR software
A clinician can start a note from the CBT template, carry the agenda from the last session forward, assign homework and read its completion rate, and send the PHQ-9 before each session to see the score charted over time. The first clinician costs $39 a month.
Choosing an EHR
One that holds a set agenda, the homework between sessions, and a measure that shows whether treatment is working. On My Best Practice a clinician can set the agenda once and find the open items waiting at the next appointment, assign homework and read the client's completion percentage, and schedule the PHQ-9 so the client completes it before the session and the clinician can read the score charted on the Metrics tab.
A CBT session on My Best Practice
A clinician can list the session's agenda items in the note, and the items she did not reach carry forward to the next session's note. The CPT code is on the note and a Diagnosis Tab opens the Treatment Plan with the ICD Diagnosis.
A clinician can assign homework from the note and before the next session they can see the percentage the client completed.
A clinician can start from the CBT template and modify it, or build a fully custom note, questionnaire, intake form, or consent contract. ChoosingTherapy's reviewer listed the built-in tools for structuring sessions among the product's strengths in January 2026.
A clinician can schedule the PHQ-9 or GAD-7 on any cadence. The client receives a text or email reminder, completes the measure in the portal before the session or in the waiting room, and the clinician can read each score charted over time.
A clinician can share a thought record or another worksheet with a client as a document through the HIPAA-compliant portal, and can build a custom questionnaire that the client completes in the portal before the session.
A clinician can document a CBT group once and sync the note to each member's chart, and run the group over telehealth with up to 16 participants, each with her own link and reminder.
User Highlight
Dr. Gwilym Roddick, a clinical psychologist and the owner of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy of Central & South Florida, explains why he moved his practice to My Best Practice: note templates that pull data forward from previous sessions, less time on documentation each day, and a White Glove Migration with no downtime.
The evidence
Homework and outcome are related. A 2010 meta-analysis of 23 studies and 2,183 participants found a small-to-medium association between homework compliance and treatment outcome.
Measurement-based care has a similar evidence base and a similar problem with use. Fewer than 20% of behavioral health practitioners integrate it, and in a national survey of 504 clinicians, 13.9% used standardized progress measures at least monthly and 61.5% never used them. Clinicians with a cognitive-behavioral orientation held more positive attitudes toward measurement than others in that survey. J. Ryan Fuller's implementation guide covers how a practice makes measurement a habit.
"Customizable notes, treatment plans, agendas, and progress tracking are all designed to guide sessions in real time."
Matthew Church, ChoosingTherapy, My Best Practice review, January 2026
Questions
My Best Practice includes many progress note templates for CBT and users can customize a progress note to suit any modality they choose, e.g., ACT, DBT, REBT, or any others. And they can create as many as they want. They can also create as many custom Treatment Plans as they want, or use the existing templates for ACT, Cognitive Therapy, or REBT. A clinician can modify a template or build a custom one from scratch.
Yes. A clinician can assign homework in the progress note and see the homework completion rate.
Some of the most common, e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, and PCL-5 are available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. And the library has over 100 other measures for children, adolescents, and adults. It has measures for various disorders, as well as those for families, couples, and even a personality test. A practice can add as many measures of its own as it wants at no charge, provided it's their original or they hold the license or have permission for any published instrument it adds.
Yes. A practice can treat child, adolescent, and adult clients in one account, and the library includes outcome measures validated for each population.
$39 a month for the first clinician and $19 for each additional clinician. Telehealth is $20 a month per clinician, and schedulers, billers, and bookkeepers are free.
J. Ryan Fuller, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in CBT, co-founded it. He was Director of Research at the Albert Ellis Institute and founded New York Behavioral Health, the private-pay group practice where My Best Practice was first used.
