Aura: CBT & DBT for Anxiety

About this app

Aura is your personal calm in your pocket — a gentle, science-informed companion for anxiety, panic, stress, and sleep, built on the two therapies clinicians trust most: CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy). Whether you're spiraling at 2am, bracing before a big moment, or just building a calmer daily routine, Aura gives you simple tools that actually help in the moment. WHO AURA IS FOR If your mind races, your chest tightens, or sleep won't come, you're not alone. Aura was built to be there when you need it — calming, judgment-free, and always one tap away. INSTANT SOS RELIEF A panic attack or racing-thoughts moment? Tap SOS for fast grounding, paced breathing, and DBT crisis skills (TIPP & STOP) designed to bring you back to center when anxiety peaks. REFRAME YOUR THOUGHTS Anxious thoughts feel like facts. Aura's guided CBT thought record helps you catch a thought, weigh the real evidence, and rewrite it into something fairer and calmer. LEARN CBT & DBT SKILLS Explore 100+ bite-sized lessons across 10 tracks — including a full DBT Skills program (distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness), plus Anxiety Basics, Panic Attacks, Sleep Better, Managing Stress, Social Anxiety, Building Confidence, Self-Compassion, Overcoming Overthinking, and Relationships & Boundaries. Practical, evidence-based skills you can use today. A CARING AI COMPANION Talk through what's on your mind with an AI wellness companion that listens and responds with warmth. It's there for the late-night worries and the everyday overwhelm — no appointment needed. BREATHE THROUGH IT Guided breathing exercises — including Box Breathing and 4-7-8 — help settle your nervous system in just a few minutes. Follow the gentle visual and feel your body downshift. CALMING GAMES Gentle games that quietly train your brain — spot cognitive distortions, reframe anxious thoughts, and match the right DBT skill to the moment. DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP Calming sleep stories, soothing soundscapes, and guided body scans help quiet your mind and ease you into rest. TRACK YOUR MOOD & PROGRESS Quick daily mood check-ins reveal patterns over time. Build streaks, earn achievements, and watch your calm minutes add up — small wins that keep you coming back. REFLECT IN YOUR JOURNAL A private space to put feelings into words. Your entries stay on your device, always.
