Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days—even in the therapy room. But what does that mean for therapists, clients, and the future of mental health care? Is AI here to replace humans, or could it become a valuable partner in the healing process?

In this episode of Everyday Therapy, hosts Brett Cushing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Dr. Karin Ryan, Licensed Psychologist, unpack the fascinating and sometimes unsettling rise of AI in therapeutic settings. From chatbots that deliver therapy to mood-tracking tools that give instant feedback, they explore how AI can reinforce therapy, when it might fall short, and what ethical concerns we all need to keep in mind.

They share real-world examples of AI helping clients in between sessions, the potential benefits for accessibility and consistency, and the very human skills, like reading body language and building deep trust, that machines just can’t replicate.

Tune in to Discover:

  • What AI therapy looks like and how it works in real life
  • How AI can reinforce skills learned in therapy sessions
  • The benefits of 24/7 availability and instant feedback
  • Limitations of AI in understanding context, tone, and nonverbal cues
  • Concerns about over-reliance, social isolation, and cognitive decline
  • The ethical questions around privacy, crisis care, and human oversight
  • Why a balanced approach is key
