Couples Therapy Assistant revolutionizes how partners navigate disagreements, build healthier dynamics, and reinforce therapeutic insights. Created in collaboration with Chop Dawg, this AI-powered mobile app and web platform deliver context-aware guidance at any time—bridging the gap between therapy sessions and real-world interactions. From live conflict de-escalation to helpful reminders and more, Couples Therapy Assistant makes transformative communication available 24/7.
Traditional therapy often leaves couples navigating conflicts alone between sessions—where frustrations can escalate. Keith Jordan, LCSW, recognized that timely, accessible advice could help partners defuse tension in the moment, preventing deeper rifts. Enter Couples Therapy Assistant: a comprehensive tool that blends AI-driven communication strategies with everyday usability. By collaborating with Chop Dawg, Keith has spearheaded an entirely new way for couples to receive immediate, tailored guidance—turning arguments into teachable moments and building healthier relationships day by day.
Empowering Couples to Communicate Better, Every Day
Couples face countless micro-conflicts that come up outside formal therapy hours—when real-time help isn’t easily accessible. Scheduled appointments rarely align with heated discussions at home or out in public. Meanwhile, therapists struggle to provide immediate intervention beyond session walls, risking stagnation or escalation for couples’ progress. Keith Jordan, LCSW, envisioned a digital platform that combines AI-driven insights with user-friendly design, offering robust conflict resolution at any moment. This required seamlessly integrating advanced machine learning, secure data sharing, and a proactive approach to user safety—challenges that led Keith to Chop Dawg’s expertise.
From the start, Keith’s vision demanded a thoughtful blend of therapy principles, AI, and approachable tech. Working hand in hand, Chop Dawg and Keith identified core features—like context-driven AI threads and real-time conflict de-escalation tools—to anchor the user experience. Through iterative sprints, interactive design reviews, and steady Slack communication, we refined how couples would input concerns, share data with therapists, and track their progress. Each development milestone balanced the nuanced nature of therapy with a frictionless interface, ensuring users felt supported, not overwhelmed. The result is a future-ready app that not only elevates couples’ daily communication but also enhances their ongoing therapy sessions.
From in-the-moment AI guidance to structured assignments, Couples Therapy Assistant bridges the gap between scheduled sessions and everyday life:
Couples can open new “threads” to describe conflicts or emotional challenges. The built-in AI delivers immediate suggestions—like communication strategies—tailored to each partner’s context. Everything is saved for easy reference later.
Therapists can create tasks for couples to complete between sessions, such as conversation exercises or journaling prompts. Users mark assignments as complete directly in the app, keeping everyone accountable and informed.
Daily mood check-ins and timed reminders prompt users to reflect on their relationship well-being. This helps identify lingering frustrations and invites the AI to offer relevant strategies—leading to continuous progress and fewer blow-ups.
Therapists upload personalized PDFs, videos, or articles for couples to explore, building an ever-growing resource library. Users can easily share these materials or their own conversation threads with both partners and the therapist.
Beyond AI-powered conversations, Couples Therapy Assistant secures sensitive data, fosters collaboration with licensed therapists, and ensures immediate access to emergency support when tensions escalate:
Only licensed mental health professionals can authorize the app for their clients, preserving credibility. Once verified, therapists can distribute the app directly, guiding couples on how best to utilize its features.
Couples can sync their accounts across multiple phones or tablets, ensuring both partners see the same conversation threads, assignments, and resources. This fosters real-time collaboration and consistent understanding.
If distress indicators arise, the app prompts couples to reach out to emergency contacts, from local hotlines to 911. This proactive approach underscores user well-being while maintaining the focus on healthy communication.
Chop Dawg’s role went far beyond design and coding—our strategic oversight touched every layer of the Couples Therapy Assistant platform:
We advised on AES-256-CBC encryption, multi-factor authentication, and handling sensitive data to ensure couples and therapists could trust the app’s confidentiality.
Integrating APIs with Anthropic’s Claude demanded careful curation. We worked with Keith to shape “therapist-like” AI responses that remain empathetic, context-driven, and aligned with professional best practices.
We supported marketing assets, store listings, and a clear onboarding process, enabling Keith to encourage therapists nationwide to adopt the app and guide their couples in leveraging it effectively.
Throughout development, Chop Dawg and Keith maintained ongoing feedback loops via Slack, JIRA, and weekly Zoom sessions. Each discovery—from how best to store AI conversation data, to simplifying the user flow for assignment completion—influenced our iterative updates. This transparent, agile process guaranteed the Couples Therapy Assistant app remained intuitive, robust, and ethically sound. By keeping lines of communication wide open, we made sure each development milestone resonated with Keith’s original vision: real-time support that fosters stronger, more resilient relationships.
Beta testers report conflicts de-escalating in half the usual time, thanks to instant, in-the-moment insights from the AI.
Couples and therapists alike praise the intuitive UI, proactive reminders, and empathetic conversation prompts that make day-to-day communication more meaningful.
Early outreach showed high interest from mental health professionals nationwide, eager to integrate real-time AI coaching into their client toolkit.
