Came home from work wanting to scream

Came home from work wanting to scream

Mom will ask "what happened" and you can't explain. A friend will say "let it go." Here, you'll be heard without questions and helped to breathe.

Got a diagnosis. Staying silent.

Got a diagnosis. Staying silent.

You don't want to scare loved ones, but inside everything is boiling. Here you can say anything — without fear of someone crying or getting angry.

My therapist is from my town

My therapist is from my town

In a small town everyone knows each other. The therapist might be your mom's friend. Here, nobody will find out. Ever.

At work, you have to be strong

At work, you have to be strong

You're a manager, doctor, teacher. You can't show weakness. Here — you can. Here you're not a role, but a person.

Burned out. Don't know why I get up.

Burned out. Don't know why I get up.

No need to explain context from scratch. Nearby remembers what matters to you. Just say "I feel bad" — and you'll be understood.

Safety protocols

Nearby can recognize crisis states and suicidal thoughts. In those moments, emergency helplines are provided. Nearby won't leave you in a dangerous moment.

How people use Nearby

When work becomes overwhelming

For someone going through burnout, Nearby offers a private space to vent without judgment, identify cognitive distortions behind work stress, and learn CBT techniques to reframe pressure into manageable steps.

When seeing a therapist feels uncomfortable

For people who feel ashamed or hesitant about traditional therapy, Nearby provides an anonymous first step — guided CBT sessions on a phone, with no waiting rooms and no one finding out.

When professional help is far away

In small towns or remote areas where licensed therapists are scarce, Nearby gives access to evidence-based self-help practices, daily check-ins, and structured CBT exercises any time of day.

When you prefer structure over small talk

For analytically-minded people, Nearby asks specific questions, helps break problems into parts, and guides reflection through clear methodological steps rather than open-ended conversation.

Between sessions with a therapist

For people already working with a therapist, Nearby fills the gap between appointments — a place to capture anxious moments, practice grounding techniques, and bring richer reflections to the next session.
