When Clients Bring AI Into Therapy: A practical and ethical conversation for modern practitioners.
Clients are already using AI to journal, seek advice, process emotions, and even simulate therapeutic conversations before they walk into the therapy room.
So what happens when AI becomes part of the therapeutic process, intentionally or unintentionally?
This talk offers a grounded, psychologically informed exploration of how clinicians can respond to client AI use with curiosity, ethics, and relational depth. We’ll cover practical considerations including disclosure, policies, intake forms, boundaries, and conversational frameworks that help practitioners engage this topic thoughtfully without losing the human core of therapy.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to respond with curiosity, ethics, and relational depth when AI shows up in the therapeutic process
- Practical considerations for disclosure, intake forms, policies, and boundaries around client AI use
- Conversational frameworks for raising the topic with clients without losing the human core of the work
- A grounded, psychologically informed lens for engaging this rapidly evolving territory
