This year’s Mental Health Week theme is one a lot of people can relate to: anxiety. Whether it’s brought on by work, life changes, or just the overwhelming pace of the world, anxiety can affect anyone. At Mobile Reborn, we care not just about giving tech a second life, but helping people thrive while using it. So we’ve rounded up five of our favourite mental health apps that help manage anxiety—from guided meditations to digital therapy sessions.
📱1. BetterHelp:
If you’ve ever wished therapy could come to you—on your time and terms—BetterHelp delivers. This app connects you with licensed therapists through text, phone or video calls. It’s like having a therapist in your pocket, ready to help you process your anxiety and build healthy coping mechanisms.
💬 2. Talkspace:
Another powerful therapy app, Talkspace matches you with a licensed therapist who understands your needs. You can message your therapist daily or schedule live sessions. If anxiety is interfering with your everyday life, Talkspace gives you a private, supportive environment to talk it out.
🧘 3. Headspace:
When your thoughts are racing, a few minutes of guided meditation can make a huge difference. Headspace offers calming meditations, sleep sounds, and breathing exercises designed to reduce stress and ease anxious minds. It's user-friendly and great for beginners and seasoned meditators alike.
🎈 4. Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame:
Developed with little ones in mind—but great for anxious adults too—this app from Sesame Street helps users slow down and problem-solve. With cute animations and a simple interface, it’s a gentle introduction to emotional regulation and mindfulness, ideal for families navigating anxiety together.
🚫 5. I Am Sober:
Anxiety and addiction often go hand-in-hand. I Am Sober is a motivational tracking app for those on a recovery journey. Beyond tracking sober days, it offers accountability, community, and milestones to keep you grounded when anxiety strikes. A simple, powerful way to stay focused on your progress.
At Mobile Reborn, we believe technology should empower your wellbeing—not complicate it. Whether you’re exploring mindfulness, therapy, or sobriety, these apps can be part of your toolkit for managing anxiety. And if you need a reliable device to run them on, we’ve got great refurbished phones that work like new—without the new price tag.
