Custom Symptom Rows
Rows should reflect symptoms relevant to the client and treatment focus. Changing rows across months limits direct comparison.
Psychology Tools Symptom Tracker
Psychology Tools Symptom Tracker is a generic CBT symptom self-monitoring tracker for therapists and clients. It helps them monitor client-selected symptoms over a month using daily marks for absence, mild presence, or severe presence.

Cell States
Each completed cell supports absence, mild presence, or severe presence. Missing data remains distinct from absence.
Review Boundary
The tracker organizes and summarizes reported cell markings; it does not create standardized scores, clinical thresholds, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.
Can the practitioner choose the symptoms?
Yes. Symptom rows are configurable so the tracker reflects the client's treatment focus.
Is absence the same as a missing day?
No. Absence is a reported cell state, while missing means the day or cell has not been completed.
Does the tracker score symptoms?
No. It displays reported daily states and descriptive summaries only.
What is saved when I use the demo?
The tracker, symptom-row configuration, and date setup are saved. Fictional daily markings are not saved as client data.
