Overview / Description
Wysa is an AI mental health chatbot using evidence-based techniques from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to help users manage stress, anxiety, and low mood through structured conversations and exercises. It's designed to be a safe, anonymous first-step resource — available at any hour without clinical referral requirements.
Employees, students, and individuals dealing with manageable mental health challenges use Wysa for self-guided emotional support between therapy sessions or as a lower-barrier alternative to seeking care. The anonymous nature removes stigma barriers that prevent many people from engaging with mental health resources.
Wysa is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment. It's effective as a self-support tool for mild to moderate stress and anxiety; clinical conditions require professional care. Enterprise deployments through employers and insurers have clinical oversight built in. Crisis resources are surfaced when the AI detects significant distress signals.
