What are Blueprint Sessions?
Blueprint Sessions are intended to help you run your client's therapy sessions in blueprint in a format that loosely follows the natural course of a therapy session (i.e., starting with a check-in and ending with a plan for next session).
Specifically, Blueprint Sessions takes in the data you are already used to collecting from your clients - assessments and worksheets - and presents it in more of an intuitive format for you to review live in session with your clients.
Not only will this help you more easily integrate Blueprint data into your sessions, but running a session in Blueprint will produce a series of documentation snippets that you can copy and paste into your EHR as needed. This way, you can spend less time on documentation and more time planning for your next session!
The 5 Components of a Blueprint Session
Check-in
This section gives you quick insight into what you might want to talk about early on in the session with your client. It contains:
A visual diagram on how that client has been checking in on their mood, energy, sleep, and social connectedness over the last week.
The results of any Assessments the client (or their Participants) has completed in the last week.
Recap Last Session
Here you will be able to review any Interventions completed with your client in their last Blueprint Session, which can be helpful to review and reinforce any topics or skills that were covered in the previous Blueprint Session. This will also show your personal Psychotherapy Note from the previous session, where you can reference personal notes that you wrote to yourself.

This section will contain any Worksheets your client has completed since their last Blueprint Session, in sequential order based on time of completion.
Deliver Interventions
Acting as the meat of the Blueprint Session, this is where you'll document and deliver Interventions with your client. These Interventions could include guided in-session activities, non-guided activities, or simply talking points for the subjects related to your client's care.
💡 It's important that you mark all interventions completed during the session, whether they were completed on Blueprint or not, so that you can get the most accurate documentation snippet for your progress notes when your Blueprint Session is complete.Plan for Next Session
Based on the work you did in this session, if there are additional Worksheets you'd like to assign to the client as Homework or Interventions you plan to deliver in their next session, you can add those here.
The Psychotherapy Note.
The Psychotherapy Note a space to jot down any notes for yourself as a session is going on. It's best to think of it as a notepad; it's not formal documentation, but instead quick reminders for yourself which you can look back on at anytime. It is only accessible by navigating back to this Blueprint Session, clients do not have access to it.
