DAP Note Example

Managing Chronic Illness

Client is managing the emotional toll of chronic illness using ACT.

Generated DAP 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.

Data:
Client attended a 55-minute session at the clinic today. Client reported the emotional toll of managing a chronic illness and feeling of isolation. Client stated, "I’m always in pain." Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was used to explore these feelings, with a focus on values-based living. Client engaged actively and asked questions about the techniques.

Assessment:
Client is developing an understanding of ACT and how it can aid in managing her chronic illness. The patient's expression of ongoing pain and reported feelings of isolation indicate a significant emotional burden.

Plan:
Homework assigned to identify activities that bring joy and integrate them into the client's routine. The next session is scheduled in two weeks, at the clinic.

Client Session Summary:
