Strua
Psychologist-built coping tools for stressful moments.
Evidence-based mental health tools built by a licensed clinical psychologist. 23 tools free, 60+ on Pro. CBT, DBT, mindfulness techniques, and sleep protocols for the moments between therapy sessions. New in 1.1: a Sleep Suite, a Psychoeducational Library, and a Clinician Access Program. 90+ research citations. No chatbot, no streaks, no shame. Founding member pricing available.
I had the idea for Strua in my kitchen while talking with a family member who just couldn't remember what they did in therapy.
For fifteen years, I had seen this same pattern: A client does incredible work in session — real breakthroughs. Then life hits between appointments… and everything becomes unreachable.
Not because they were not trying. Because stress does not care about insight.
I started calling it crisis amnesia.
When your nervous system floods, your prefrontal cortex goes partially offline. The skills are still there — you just cannot access them under pressure.
Most mental health apps respond with meditation. Meditation is valuable — I recommend it often.
But it is not designed for: - a panic attack at 2 AM - intrusive thoughts that will not stop - anger escalating faster than you can think
So I built what I wished I could give every client leaving my office:
The actual techniques — cognitive restructuring, grounding, opposite action, behavioral activation, sleep protocols — turned into something you can use in under two minutes.
Strua 1.1 is the first major update since launch. What's new:
→ 23 free tools, rituals, and meditations
→ A full Sleep Suite — guided imagery, wind-down rituals, stimulus control, paradoxical intention, cognitive shuffle
→ A Psychoeducation Library — clear, evidence-based explanations of concepts like cognitive distortions, behavioral activation, and grounding. Built after reading that 60% of people referred to therapy never follow through. Support starts with understanding.
→ A Clinician Access Program — complimentary ongoing Pro access for licensed clinicians. No referral tracking, no attribution, no commissions.
→ 90+ research citations across the library.
No chatbot.
No streaks. No reminders. No guilt.
No gamification.
Strua exists when you need it — and disappears when you do not.
The deeper goal: you use a grounding technique at 2 AM so that the next 2 AM, you handle it a little better. That's resilience, built one in-the-moment practice at a time.
23 tools are completely free.
If you try it, I would genuinely love to hear: Was there a moment this would have helped you?
Even a quick reaction or first impression is incredibly helpful. Especially interested in feedback from clinicians.

Who hunted Strua?
