Diary card integration

Daily diary cards sync with session notes—urges, emotions, skills use visible in treatment documentation automatically.

Behavior chain analysis

Link diary card data to behavior chains—prompting events, vulnerabilities, links, consequences documented systematically.

Skills tracking

Track DBT skills use over time—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness documented.

The DBT documentation challenge

DBT requires detailed tracking—diary cards, behavior chains, skills use—but most tools treat these as separate from session notes.

Fragmented DBT tracking

  • Paper diary cards disconnected from digital notes—manual transcription, data loss
  • Behavior chains documented separately—no link to diary card data or session notes
  • Skills use tracked informally—no systematic documentation of practice frequency
  • Treatment targets hard to monitor—diary card trends not visible in session prep

Integrated DBT documentation

  • Digital diary cards sync with session notes—urges, emotions, skills automatically documented
  • Behavior chains linked to diary data—complete chain analysis from prompting event to consequences
  • Skills use systematically tracked—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation documented
  • Treatment targets visible in prep—diary trends, target behaviors, skills practice surfaced

Complete DBT protocol integration

Every component of DBT comprehensive treatment tracked and connected.

SOMA has been a real time-saver for my practice. The note and report templates are powerful and work really well for my needs - I can generate session summaries and case conceptualizations with just minor tweaks, if any. It's made my documentation process much more efficient and faster.

With long-term clients, there's a real relationship built over time. I know most people would be very comfortable with it - especially if they're receiving information back on the app and they're not seeing everything else. The consent form really addresses the questions my more cautious clients would have.

I think what is special about SOMA is it's effectiveness... Being able to see everything in one go makes the clinical workflow more effective. The ability to have the prep, do the session, and do the follow-up work all in one place - that's really the big selling point for me.
