Free therapy activities, worksheets & tools — for therapists, parents, and teens

Emora's 10 interactive therapy activities are evidence-based, clinician-designed, and free to use. Each is grounded in a published therapeutic framework — cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), play therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy — and rebuilt as an interactive tool you can run in-session, assign between sessions, or keep on hand for moments at home.

Every activity supports Save as PNG, Email a copy, and an embed snippet for clinician blogs and resource pages. No signup. No paywall. No tracking of your activity contents.

For clinicians

Use any activity in a session, assign it as homework via the email link, or paste the embed iframe into your own site. The activities preserve drawings, drag-and-drop placement, typed answers, and ratings, so the exported PNG is the client's actual work — not a screenshot of a worksheet template. Each page links to peer-reviewed sources and a brief clinician note behind the "For clinicians" disclosure on the activity page.

For parents & families

Activities work just as well at home. They're designed to be used alongside a therapist when one's available; they're also a respectful, age-appropriate way to talk about hard things together. Email yourself a copy of what you've made and bring it to the next session — many clinicians appreciate seeing what came up between visits.
