Designing for therapists means prioritizing what matters in the next few minutes, not just what looks good on a dashboard.

I explored two layout directions for a mental health practice management web app that helps psychologists manage sessions, patients, documentation, tasks, and follow-ups.

Both concepts use the same core widgets, but with different positioning and visual hierarchy. The goal was to make daily priorities easier to scan and act on.

Which option feels more intuitive - A or B? 🤔

Option A feels a bit more natural for a therapist's workflow. Placing the daily schedule and key priorities right at the top makes it much easier to scan between back-to-back sessions without unnecessary friction. Great focus on practical UX over just aesthetics.

I used @Lovable to build a working booking app for my business—and the most useful part happens after someone clicks “Book.”

The goal: easier booking for clients, less scheduling work for me.

The app creates their Zoom meeting, sends their confirmation, schedules reminders, and lets them reschedule or cancel.

The client’s part? Pick a time. Enter a name and email. Done.

I built this for Mathias Media, my website and app studio in Minneapolis, as part of @Contra’s #lovablechallenge.

With Lovable, I built around how I actually work: consultations Tuesday through Thursday, a maximum of three calls a day, and buffers between appointments. The app handles those rules while keeping booking simple.

That’s what makes this Contra challenge worthwhile: a reason to turn a real business need into something useful with Lovable.

Walkthrough and build-process recording attached.

Have a business process you wish worked better? Give Lovable a try.

Baking the Tuesday to Thursday, three calls max rule right into the app is the smartest part of this imo. Most booking tools make you bend around them. Have clients noticed the limits or does it just quietly feel like you're in demand?
