BIRP Note Example

Performance Anxiety

Client is addressing performance anxiety with CBT and visualization.

Generated BIRP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

Behavior:
Client discussed his anxiety related to performing on stage, expressing a fear of failing publicly.

Intervention:
The therapist used cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge negative thoughts and facilitated visualization exercises during the 40-minute session.

Response:
Client appeared a bit anxious but was willing to try the approach of visualization exercises.

Plan:
Client's homework is to visualize a successful performance each day. The therapist and client will follow up in the next session next week to assess progress and continue treatment.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over, and then Quill would generate a note similar to the one above.
