It would seem that AI-enhanced psychotherapy could help therapists and patients get much more quickly to the crux of the issues really impeding the growth of the patient. Instead of spending years getting to this level of granular understanding of what makes someone tick this could allow progress to be made much more quickly. Too could also imagine a new kind of inter session prompted journaling that is then discussed with the therapist. Looks like therapist+AI trumps just therapist or just AI quite significantly in this scenario (depending on the therapist of course).

While AI can offer general support and information, it's not a substitute for a therapist due to its lack of clinical expertise, inability to provide personalized and continuous care, and absence of emotional intelligence. AI models also cannot manage crisis situations effectively, raising concerns about accuracy, privacy, and ethical oversight. For comprehensive and empathetic mental health care, licensed professionals remain essential.
