One Pack for Every Concern in the Treatment Plan
Seventy-one presenting concerns, from generalized anxiety to caregiver burnout to relapse risk, each with its own curated set of lessons, trackers and tools. The moment a concern goes into the plan, its pack is already waiting.
What’s inside
71 Packs, Included in All-Access
The packs follow the same ten clinical categories as the treatment planner, plus a set for adolescents. Each pack holds between four and twelve resources chosen for that concern, in the order a counselor would usually assign them.
Anxiety, OCD, and Worry
Emotional and Behavioral Regulation
Mood and Depression
Purpose, Meaning, and Life Skills
Relationships, Family, and Parenting
Stress, Coping, and Physical Health
Substance Use and Addiction
Thinking, Cognition, and Self-Concept
Trauma and Safety
Adolescents
On paper too
Every Resource Prints Clean
These materials lived in binders and file folders for years before they lived on a screen, and some clients still do their best thinking with a pencil. Every resource prints as a clean worksheet with the same content and the same self-check, for group rooms, waiting rooms, and the client who prefers paper. Assign the link or hand out the page. Same resource, either way.
In the session
Where the Two Halves Meet
This is where the two halves of Compass meet. Build the plan with the concern; open the matched pack; assign from it. Nothing to search for. The plan is always the clinician’s; Compass just has the resources ready.
Same 71 Concerns
The packs use the exact concern list the treatment planner uses, so the plan and the resources never disagree.
Curated, in Order
Four to twelve resources per pack, chosen and sequenced for how the concern is usually treated.
Nothing to Search For
Add the concern to the plan and the pack is already open. Assign from it or go outside it.
Still the Clinician’s Call
The pack is the recommended set, not a limit. Any resource can go to any client.
How it works
The Plan Says Where Treatment Is Going. The Resources Get It There.
Three steps, and nothing for the client to set up.
1Step 1
Add the Concern to the Plan
Choose from the same 71 concerns the treatment planner uses. The matched resources appear with it.
2Step 2
Send the Link
The client opens it on any device. No account, no app. They read, answer, and score themselves in a few minutes.
3Step 3
Open the Next Session with What Actually Happened
The self-score and the client’s own answers come back with them. Something real to engage with between sessions. Not paperwork.
From the clinical author
The 167 Hours in Between
In my years of clinical practice, I have never lost a client during the therapy session. I have lost them in the 167 hours in between, when anxiety begins to rise, support fades into the background, and there is little in that moment to help them remain grounded and stay on track.
The people I worked with were not lacking desire or insight. In many cases they knew exactly what they needed to do. They wanted to get better, and I wanted to help, but too often progress would drift, slip back, or simply not last. I came to call this the Drift Effect, and I have written a whole book about it. It happens to clients. It happens to treatment plans too. A counselor builds a careful plan at intake, and by session six it is a document in a file rather than a map anyone is following.
Later, when we developed an intensive outpatient program, something became clear. When clients had structure, support, and skill-building throughout the week, not just once a week, their outcomes improved dramatically. That is what led me to write the Journey to Recovery library in the first place, and it is why Compass exists. The treatment plan tells treatment where to go. These resources are how it gets there. Each of the 71 concerns is mapped to goals, objectives, and interventions, and the same 71 concerns carry over to the client side, each resource ending in a self-check that gives the client a personal summary to bring back.
None of this replaces the counselor. It extends your presence into the hours when clients are most vulnerable, and it keeps the plan active in daily life instead of waiting for the next appointment.

Your Privacy and Your Client’s Privacy Are Protected by Design
Compass does not ask for and does not accept client identifying information. Nothing you enter is retained after your session ends.
Plans Without Identifiers
You build the plan from the concern, the goals, and the interventions. Names and record numbers never enter it.
Your Chart, Your Side
Export the finished plan as a PDF and upload it to your EHR or wherever you keep the record. What goes into the chart, and when, stays your decision.
One Link for the Client
Clients open a link on a phone with nothing to set up. Their answers go only where they choose to send them.
Compass supports audit readiness. Your own compliance review still applies.

Questions Counselors Ask
How Were the Packs Put Together?
Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC selected and ordered the resources in each pack to match how the concern is usually treated.
Can I Assign Outside the Pack?
Yes. The pack is the recommended set, not a limit. Any resource in the library can be assigned to any client.
Do Packs Change?
They are updated as new resources are added. The concern list itself is the same 71 concerns the treatment planner uses.
Is This the Treatment Planner?
It is the other half. The treatment planner writes the plan; the concern packs are the resources that match it.
