When should I use an AI therapist?

AI therapists are helpful for: mild symptoms, learning CBT skills, 24/7 support between therapy sessions, or as a first step while waiting for therapy access. Seek human help for moderate to severe symptoms.

AI Therapy Chatbots

Woebot and Wysa are the leading AI therapy chatbots, offering 24/7 CBT-based support. They're helpful for mild symptoms and skill-building but aren't replacements for human therapists.

AI therapy chatbots provide instant, 24/7 mental health support using evidence-based techniques. They're accessible and affordable but have limitations. Understand when they're helpful and when you need human support.

AI Therapy Chatbots FAQ

No. AI chatbots can teach CBT skills and provide support, but they can't provide the therapeutic relationship, complex assessment, or personalized treatment that human therapists offer. They're supplements, not replacements.
