SIMPLE Note Example: Stress of Homeownership

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.

In today’s 60-minute telehealth session, client discussed the stress associated with owning a home, expressing frustration with the constant maintenance and stating, "There’s always something that needs fixing, and it’s never-ending." Client reported feeling overwhelmed by the ongoing to-do list and expressed fear that the house would fall into disrepair if they did not stay on top of tasks. The therapist explored ways to manage this stress, including breaking down tasks into smaller steps and delegating when possible. The importance of prioritizing pressing issues and creating a realistic plan to address homeownership responsibilities was discussed. The therapist suggested starting with a list of immediate tasks and setting deadlines to prevent feeling paralyzed by the long list. Client appeared receptive to this approach and agreed to identify which tasks to tackle first. Homework assigned includes creating a schedule for the upcoming week and beginning to implement small changes. The treatment plan will continue in the next session, with a check-in to assess how client is managing these changes.
