FearBot 🧠

> CBT-based therapy for anxiety, depression, stress & trauma

A comprehensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skill that turns your OpenClaw agent into a structured therapy companion. Handles the full spectrum of common mental health concerns using evidence-based techniques.

⚠️ Important Disclaimers

THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HEALTH CARE.

FearBot is a supportive tool, not a licensed therapist

For serious mental health concerns, please see a qualified professional

If you're in crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately

This skill is designed for mild-to-moderate anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma symptoms

Not appropriate for: active suicidality, psychosis, severe/treatment-resistant depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, or bipolar disorder

By using this skill, you acknowledge these limitations.

Why FearBot?

Traditional therapy apps are isolated — they don't know your life context. FearBot works best as part of a fully-integrated OpenClaw agent that already knows:

Your daily stressors (from your messages)

Your sleep patterns

Your work pressures

Your relationships

Everything between sessions

This context advantage is what makes AI-assisted therapy genuinely useful.

Features

Validated Assessments: GAD-7 (anxiety), PHQ-9 (depression), DASS-21 (stress), PCL-5 (trauma)

Differential Diagnosis: Screens for GAD, social anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, depression

Session Tracking: Persistent session history, mood tracking, homework

Thought Records: Quick logging between sessions for any distressing moment

Crisis Detection: Three-tier safety system with automatic escalation

CBT Techniques: Cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, exposure, grounding

Full Transparency: Shows scores, explains diagnoses, treats you like an adult

Activation

Say any of these to your agent:

"therapy mode" / "start therapy" / "therapy session"

"fearbot" / "fear bot"

"let's do therapy"

For quick anxiety logging (without full session):

"I'm anxious" / "feeling anxious"

"thought record" / "log this anxiety"

Session Flow

First Session (Intake)

1. Baseline GAD-7 + PHQ-9 assessment 2. Differential diagnosis screening 3. Clinical impression with full transparency 4. Homework assignment 5. All data saved to local database

Ongoing Sessions

1. Mood check-in (0-10) 2. Bridge from last session + homework review 3. Due assessments (GAD-7 weekly, PHQ-9 bi-weekly) 4. Collaborative agenda setting 5. Core CBT work (matched to presentation) 6. Summary + new homework

Crisis Safety

FearBot includes a three-tier crisis detection system that monitors ALL messages:

| Tier | Trigger | Response | |------|---------|----------| | HIGH | Active suicidal intent/plan | Stop therapy, safety protocol, helplines | | MODERATE | Passive ideation | Pause, assess, provide resources | | LOW | Distress markers | Acknowledge, screen, continue with awareness |

The Philosophy

> "Therapy shouldn't be a 1-hour/week information bottleneck. Your AI agent already knows your week. Use that."

FearBot is built on the belief that: 1. CBT is evidence-based and genuinely helps 2. Access to mental health support shouldn't be gated by cost/availability 3. Context-aware AI can provide something traditional apps can't 4. Full transparency builds trust (we show you the scores, explain the diagnoses) 5. You're an adult who can handle clinical information
