How MindSteady works

Individual therapy for U.S. adults — licensed clinician matching, 50-minute video sessions, and secure messaging between appointments.

Structured Intake and Matching

The intake covers your presenting concerns (anxiety, depression, work stress, grief, ADHD, life transitions), how you prefer to communicate, and any demographic factors that matter to you in a therapist. We use those answers to match you with a licensed clinician — LMFT, LCSW, LPC, PhD, or PsyD — who is currently licensed in your state.

  • Short structured intake — takes about 10 minutes
  • Matched to a clinician licensed in your state
  • First session booked within 5 business days
  • Re-match at no charge if first session isn't a fit
Therapist Matching

50-Minute Video Sessions

Sessions run 50 minutes over HIPAA-compliant video — either through our secure WebRTC platform or Zoom for Healthcare. You connect from wherever you are; your clinician joins from theirs. Sessions are available across 38 U.S. states, dependent on your clinician's active state license.

  • HIPAA-compliant video — no general-purpose apps
  • 50-minute standard session length
  • Session summary sent to you after each appointment
  • Reschedule with at least 24 hours notice
Session Tools

Secure Messaging Between Sessions

Between appointments, you can send your therapist messages through the platform's encrypted inbox. This is an asynchronous channel — your clinician reads and responds within one business day. It's useful for brief updates, questions between sessions, or things that came up after your last call.

  • End-to-end encrypted — not SMS or standard email
  • Clinician responds within 1 business day
  • Available 24/7 for you to write; response timing is not
  • Not a crisis line — call or text 988 for emergencies
