AI scribe for Nevada social workers (LCSW)

Facts checked on 17 October 2026.

MentalNote is an AI scribe for Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) and LMSWs in a clinical post-graduate internship in Nevada: record the session in your browser, pick DAP, BIRP, GIRP, SOAP, Progress, Intake or Treatment Plan, and get a draft to review and sign, on a free plan or Premium at $99 a month, with a BAA on every plan. LMSWs in a board-approved clinical internship can use it with their supervisor's usual review and sign-off.

Nevada social workers work in Las Vegas and Reno group practices, community mental health programs, hospital systems, school programs and telehealth practices that reach rural counties. MentalNote records the session in your browser (with your client's consent) and drafts the note between sessions. You review it, edit it and copy it into your EHR.

5 free scribe sessions a month. No credit card. BAA on every plan.

The short answer

  • Record the session in your browser, in the room or on a telehealth call in a browser tab, and get a draft note when the session ends.
  • Pick the format you chart in: DAP, BIRP, GIRP, SOAP, PIRP, Progress, Intake / Biopsychosocial or Treatment Plan, or your own structure with custom instructions.
  • It is told not to fill gaps. The app instructs the AI to write "Not documented in session" for anything the session did not cover, and not to add a denial, a diagnosis or a risk rating you did not state. Check every draft.
  • Start free: 5 scribe sessions a month, no time limit, no credit card. Premium is $99 a month or $990 a year.
  • MentalNote is HIPAA-compliant, with a BAA included on every plan, the free plan too. Many AI scribes offer only a time-limited trial.

Who it is for

Solo clinicians and small practices that want to sign up today, pay a published price and start without a sales call or an IT project. Premium is for solo clinicians. Practices can apply for the Practice Pilot.

Built for LCSWs and clinical interns in Nevada

  • LCSWs and interns: Nevada social workers are licensed by the Board of Examiners for Social Workers. LMSWs gain clinical hours toward the LCSW in a board-approved post-graduate internship, and drafts can go through their supervisor's review as usual.
  • DAP for compact notes: Data, Assessment and Plan drafts, or BIRP and GIRP for agency work.
  • Speaker labels: a speaker-labeled transcript sits beside the draft, so you can check a quote before you sign. Labels are generic, so confirm who is who.
  • Your own structure: save one custom format (up to 500 characters) to match an agency template. It controls structure only.

What a DAP draft looks like

A human-written, shortened illustration based on a fictional session (no real client). It is not verbatim app output, and your drafts will vary with what is said.

Fictional example: Session 6, a casino worker with insomnia on rotating shifts (DAP)

Data

Client reports four to five hours of sleep after swing shifts and worry about schedule changes. He stopped caffeine after 2pm on three days. States: "Those nights I actually fell asleep."

Clinician reviewed the sleep log and gave psychoeducation on stimulus control.

Assessment

Sleep difficulty continues, with some benefit from an earlier caffeine cutoff.

Plan

Continue weekly sessions. Client to keep the cutoff and add a wind-down routine. Next session: review the log.

Risk content is not in this draft because it was not discussed in this fictional session. MentalNote is instructed never to write "denies SI" for a question you did not ask.

Documentation notes for Nevada social workers

Nevada LCSWs and interns document under NRS chapter 641B and the board's regulations, plus any Medicaid, agency or payer rules where they work. No single note format is required.

  • Consent to record: Nevada requires the consent of everyone on a phone call before it is recorded, and the NASW Code of Ethics expects social workers to get a client's consent before audio or video recording. MentalNote asks you to confirm consent before every recording.
  • Supervision: Clinical interns keep the review and sign-off process their supervisor sets. The AI draft does not change who is responsible for the note.
  • Record keeping: Keep the reviewed note in your EHR and follow the board's rules, and any payer or employer rules, on how long records are kept. MentalNote is a drafting tool, not your record system.
  • Telehealth: record a video call that runs in a browser tab. No bot joins the call. Most boards look at where the client is located during the session, so check your license covers that state.

What it will not do

These are instructions the app gives the AI for every therapy note. They are meant to reduce errors, but they are not a guarantee. Review every line.

What can go wrongWhat MentalNote instructs the AI to do
A risk statement that was never asked ("denies SI")Include risk and safety content only if it was explicitly discussed, and never write that the client denied something the session did not ask about.
A diagnosis the AI guessedGive no diagnosis, diagnostic impression or code unless you stated it in the session.
An intervention you did not useUse only what the session contains: no invented interventions, scores, dates or homework.
A gap filled with typical contentWrite "Not documented in session" for anything the session did not cover.

How it works

  1. Confirm you have your client's consent. The web app asks you to confirm it before every recording.
  2. Record in the browser, in the room or on a telehealth call in another tab.
  3. When the session ends, choose a format and get the draft, with the speaker-labeled transcript beside it.
  4. Review and edit every line, then copy or export it into your EHR.

Prefer Microsoft Word? The optional Word add-in drafts a therapy note from a short typed summary, with no recording.
