This worksheet helps clients identify which coping strategies actually work for them by comparing thoughts and emotions before and after using a skill. Clients record the situation, what they tried, and the results—making patterns clear over time and supporting a more personalized coping toolkit. The reflection prompts help clients notice which skills are most effective and when they’re easiest or hardest to use. Great for between-session practice and for reviewing skill effectiveness in session.

Best for

• Building a personalized coping plan based on real outcomes

• Clients testing multiple coping strategies and wanting clarity on what helps

• CBT/ACT-informed treatment with skills practice between sessions
