Write faster, think more functionally, and document what actually happened in session. The Functional Process Note Practice Tool helps clinicians streamline notes while strengthening ACT-in-context reasoning. Instead of summarizing content, the tool guides attention to context, function, workability, and therapeutic movement over time. Clinicians use it after sessions, in supervision, or across cases to track patterns and build conceptual fluency. Over repeated use, it speeds up documentation while reinforcing FC / RFT / ACT-consistent language and Evoke → Model → Reinforce intervention structures. Ideal for clinicians who want their notes to support learning, not just compliance.

An AI trained by Todd Schmenk to help you organize your Functional Process Note and get ACT/FC/RFT-informed case guidance.
