SimplePractice runs your sessions and your billing. What about the client who hasn't booked yet?

SimplePractice is practice management software built for solo and small behavioral health practices, therapists, counselors, and social workers, with scheduling, a client portal, built-in telehealth, and billing for private-pay sessions, including superbills clients can submit to their own insurance. It's built to run a one-person practice end to end. The gap shows up outside SimplePractice itself: a new client inquiry from your website, a referral from another provider, a reminder a client never confirms. We connect SimplePractice to the tools around it so a new client doesn't depend on you catching every message yourself.

What We Build on Top of SimplePractice

A new client usually reaches out through a website contact form, a directory listing, or a referral, and until you respond, that's just a message sitting in an inbox. We build the connection that turns an inquiry into a client record or a request on your SimplePractice calendar automatically, so you're responding to someone who's already set up instead of starting from a blank form.

If you get referrals from other providers, a psychiatrist, a primary care doctor, a school counselor, keeping track of who sent whom usually lives in your head or a spreadsheet, not in SimplePractice. We build a lightweight way to log referral sources and follow up automatically, so a referral relationship doesn't go cold just because you didn't write it down that week.

SimplePractice handles the session and the invoice, but that payment still needs to show up in your own bookkeeping for taxes and your own records. We connect SimplePractice's payment and invoice data to your accounting software, so your books stay current without a monthly export-and-reconcile session.

A Real-World Scenario: Solo Therapy Practice

One clinician, a handful of referral sources, SimplePractice for scheduling, notes, and private-pay billing.

Before

A referral comes in by email from a psychiatrist's office on a Tuesday. The therapist doesn't see it until Thursday between sessions, replies, and by the time a first appointment gets scheduled, almost a week has passed.

After

The referral email creates a lead in a simple tracker the moment it arrives, with an automatic reply confirming it was received. The therapist follows up the same day with real availability pulled from SimplePractice, and the first session gets booked before the week is out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SimplePractice?+
SimplePractice is practice management software built for solo and small behavioral health and wellness practices, therapists, counselors, and social workers in particular. It covers scheduling, documentation, a client portal, telehealth, and billing for private-pay sessions in one system.
How much does SimplePractice cost?+
SimplePractice sells tiered monthly plans, usually priced per clinician, with higher tiers including features like additional telehealth participants or a more built-out client portal. Check SimplePractice's own pricing page for current numbers, since plans change periodically.
What do SimplePractice reviews say?+
Reviews are generally positive from solo and small practices, who like having scheduling, notes, billing, and telehealth in one place without stitching together separate tools. Complaints usually point at pricing creeping up as you add clinicians or features, so it's worth reading a few recent reviews from a practice similar in size to yours.
Does SimplePractice have a client portal?+
Yes. Clients can book appointments, fill out intake paperwork, message the practice, and pay invoices through the SimplePractice client portal, either on the web or through its app.
Does SimplePractice include telehealth?+
Yes, SimplePractice has built-in video telehealth sessions, so clients can meet with their provider through the same platform used for scheduling and notes, without a separate video tool.
SimplePractice vs TherapyNotes, which is better?+
Both are built for behavioral health practices and cover similar ground: scheduling, notes, billing, and telehealth. The real differences tend to show up in the client portal experience, telehealth quality, and pricing as you add clinicians, so it's worth trying both before committing. Once your practice has picked one, that's usually where our own work starts, connecting it to your website, your referral sources, or your bookkeeping.
