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 fear of social situations, especially at work events. Client stated, "I feel like everyone is judging me."

Intervention:
A 40-minute session focused on introducing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge negative thoughts. Role-playing was used to practice social interactions.

Response:
Client appeared anxious but was willing to engage with the CBT techniques and role-playing exercises. Expressed a readiness to attempt the assigned homework.

Plan:
Client's homework is to attend a social event and record his feelings and thoughts before, during, and after the event. The therapist and client will follow up on this assignment in the next session scheduled for next week.

Client Session Summary:
