Teleprompter for Therapists: New-Client Intro Videos on Mac
New clients want to know who you are before the first session. A short intro video on your therapy practice website does that work — when the delivery feels warm and unhurried. Telepront is a free native Swift Mac app that keeps your intro script on screen while you record on Loom, Zoom, or QuickTime, so the warmth stays in your voice. Native to M1–M4 Macs on macOS 14+.
See It in Action
Therapists who post an intro video on their Psychology Today profile or website see better-fit clients reach out. The video is doing the work of pre-screening, communicating modality, and conveying warmth. The hardest part is recording it — most clinicians shoot ten takes and pick the least awkward. Telepront is the difference between a tenth take and a second take.\nThe app is small, native, and stays out of the way of your recording tool. Loom is the most common choice for therapist intro videos because the recording lives on a private link, but QuickTime works just as well for clips you upload to your website directly. Telepront floats above either one and never participates in the recording itself.\nWarmth is the variable that matters most for a therapist intro. Position the panel just below your camera so your gaze rests in roughly the right place — never reading sideways. Use 30–34pt at a 24-inch desk distance and a slow, conversational scroll speed. Break the script into short sentences with line spacing so your delivery has space to breathe; reading run-on sentences off any prompter sounds rushed.\nTelepront does not record. That keeps the boundary clean: capture lives in your existing tool, and the script stays on Telepront's panel — visible to you, invisible in the recording.

How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Write the script out loud first — say each sentence, then type it. Anything you would not say in session, do not put on the prompter.
Keep one master intro plus shorter modality-specific clips (EMDR, IFS, CBT) so the website has variety without rerecording the whole intro.
Use line breaks instead of commas — natural pauses make the recording feel less like a read.
