How it works

Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel like a second job.

Abby does the searching. You just talk.

Share what’s going on in a private, judgment‑free chat: anxiety, a breakup, family stress, feeling stuck. Abby listens and helps right away, any hour of the day. No intake forms, no waiting rooms.

Chatting with Abby from home
Work has been unbearable lately and I’m snapping at everyone I love.
That sounds exhausting. Carrying that all day and watching it spill into home is a lot. When did it start feeling this heavy?

Step 2 · Intelligent matching

Get matched on your whole story

Abby uses the full context of your conversations, not a 20‑question form, to find licensed therapists whose experience, approach, and availability genuinely fit what you need. And she shows you why each match makes sense.

A therapy session

A better way in

Matching beats searching.

Directories give you filters. Abby gives you understanding.

Therapist directories

  • Scroll hundreds of near-identical profiles
  • Filter by zip code and checkbox specialties
  • Guess who you’ll click with from a headshot
  • Cold-email strangers and wait
  • Start from zero in your first session

Matching with Abby

  • One conversation about what you’re going through
  • Matches based on your actual needs and story
  • Every therapist vetted and license-verified
  • See exactly why each match fits you
  • Support from Abby while you wait, and after

I’d been putting off finding a therapist for two years because I didn’t know where to start. With Abby it didn’t feel like searching. It felt like being understood first.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this free?

Yes. Chatting with Abby and getting matched with a therapist is completely free. If you choose to work with a therapist, you pay them directly like you would any provider, and many accept insurance.

Who are the therapists?

Licensed, practicing therapists in our vetted partner network. Every license is independently verified, and profiles clearly show credentials, specialties, and practice details before you reach out.

How does the matching actually work?

Instead of making you fill out a questionnaire, Abby draws on your conversations: what you’re dealing with, how you communicate, and what you’ve said helps. From that, she identifies therapists whose experience and approach fit you, and you’ll see the reasons behind every match.

Is what I share private?

Yes. Your conversations with Abby are private. Nothing is shared with a therapist unless you decide to reach out, and you control what they see.

Is Abby a replacement for therapy?

No. Abby is a thought companion, a place to talk things through and get support day to day. For clinical care, that’s exactly what the therapist network is for. Abby helps you find the right person, and supports you along the way.

The right therapist is out there.

Start with a conversation. Abby will take it from there and stay with you the whole way.
