Clearly is a mental health marketplace designed to help people find qualified therapists and attend online therapy sessions. The platform connects patients with verified specialists and removes common barriers to starting therapy, such as limited access and complicated onboarding. Clearly provides a secure, convenient environment for communication, scheduling, and therapy sessions for both parties.
The demand for mental health support continues to grow across Europe due to political, economic, and social instability. At the same time, access to therapy remains limited. In some countries, the number of therapists is critically low, which makes it difficult for people to receive timely help. Clearly addresses this gap by making therapy easier to discover, start, and continue online.
The product was created as an internal initiative with participation from Uptech’s R&D Lab and an external co-founder. The initial version followed a lean startup approach and launched as a small MVP with a landing page, therapist listings, and messenger-based communication. This setup allowed the team to validate core assumptions, test demand, and reach early users.
After confirming product-market fit, the platform evolved into a full-scale solution. Clearly expanded to web and mobile applications, added secure video sessions, analytics, and AI-powered features, and introduced tools tailored to both therapists and patients. Today, Clearly operates as a scalable, cross-platform mental health marketplace built around real user needs and continuous product iteration.

The initial MVP was built to validate product-market fit and relied on a limited feature set and external messenger integrations. As the product matured, the team needed to evolve it into a full-scale platform without disrupting existing users or slowing down growth.
Solution
The team planned a gradual transition to V1 by redesigning the core architecture and introducing native platform features. Messenger-based flows were replaced with built-in functionality, while web and mobile applications were rolled out in stages. This approach supported scalability and kept the user experience stable during growth.
Clearly needed to work reliably on web, iOS, and Android for both patients and therapists. Each platform had different usage patterns, but the product required the same core functionality and a consistent experience across all devices.
Solution
The team chose a cross-platform approach and built web and mobile applications on a shared codebase using Capacitor. This decision made feature parity easier to maintain and reduced development overhead. It also allowed the team to release updates faster and scale the product without maintaining separate native implementations.
As Clearly introduced live therapy sessions, the platform needed to support a growing number of concurrent appointments without compromising performance, stability, or user experience. The challenge was to ensure the system could scale smoothly as session volume increased month over month.
Solution
The team designed the platform with scalability in mind from the start. A cloud infrastructure on AWS, container orchestration, and modular backend architecture allowed the platform to scale smoothly. With these improvements, Clearly now supports more than 30,000 therapy sessions each month while ensuring a seamless experience for both patients and therapists.
When Clearly moved beyond the MVP stage, it faced usability challenges across key user journeys. New users needed clearer onboarding, better therapist discovery, and a more intuitive session booking experience.
Solution
The team analyzed user behavior across acquisition and onboarding flows and tested changes based on real data. Improvements focused on onboarding steps, therapist profiles, and session booking flows. These UX optimizations increased conversion rates and supported steady growth on both the patient and therapist sides of the marketplace.
Clearly is a complex multi-role marketplace that includes therapist profiles, patient accounts, B2B client dashboards, and multi-level admin roles. Each role has clearly defined permissions to support real-world healthcare workflows.


The platform uses a custom matching algorithm that connects clients with therapists based on key criteria. This approach increases the likelihood of a successful therapeutic relationship and improves long-term engagement for both sides.


Clearly supports custom-built video sessions explicitly designed for therapy. The solution scales reliably under load and provides stable, private communication that meets healthcare security requirements.


The platform features product and business analytics from the early stages of platform growth. Event tracking covered key user actions across patient and therapist flows. Experimentation workflows supported data-driven decisions around onboarding, matching, and conversion. These insights guided feature prioritization and helped drive sustainable growth as the platform scaled.


Clearly applies AI to generate session insights that help increase user value and engagement. This feature is enabled only with explicit user consent and can be turned on or off by the user at any time. All data processing follows strict GDPR and HIPAA requirements, with multiple security layers built into the system by design.


The platform provides flexible onboarding flows for different user roles and audience segments. This approach allows Clearly to align in-app experience with external messaging, reduce friction during first-time use, and guide users through the product in a way that matches their expectations.


The platform integrates with chat solutions, payment providers, including local options, and external platforms. These integrations allow Clearly to support regional markets and simplify everyday operations for users.
