Caring for your mental well-being doesn’t have to involve complicated routines or lengthy appointments. Sometimes, it’s as simple as taking a few minutes for yourself. The LINA Art Therapy App is designed for this purpose, with short, guided creative practices that help you slow down and process emotions in ways that fit your life. The LINA Premium Plan is now $39.99 (reg. $79.99).

LINA is built by certified art therapists and psychologists to blend creativity with structure. Each session takes about 15 minutes and guides you through drawing, reflection, and gentle insights — no art background required.

The app works on iPhone and iPad, supports Apple Pencil, and is made to fit into your day without disrupting it. Inside, you’ll find science-based art therapy practices, journaling prompts, reflective cards, and imagery-based meditations grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

This kind of approach may resonate with people who want to explore emotional wellness without pressure. Busy professionals can use the app as a short reset between meetings. Parents may find it useful after a long day when quiet time is scarce. Creative thinkers might appreciate having a space where expression comes before explanation. The app also works for those who feel unsure where to start, offering prompts and structure while still leaving room for personal interpretation.

There are a few things to keep in mind. LINA is not positioned as a replacement for professional mental health care, and the insights it offers are meant to encourage reflection rather than diagnosis. That said, for people looking to build small, consistent moments of mindfulness into their routine, the app offers flexibility and accessibility across devices.

With the LINA Premium Plan at $39.99 (reg. $79.99), you’ll get affordable access to creative self-care, so you can explore at your own pace.
