95. AI Is Replacing Therapists Faster Than We Think

AI is replacing therapists, and if you've been noticing fewer new intakes or a lighter caseload, this might be exactly why. Clients are already turning to ChatGPT between sessions to vent, process, and get quick support. Fast, free, and available on demand. That's a hard thing to compete with if we keep running the same model.

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm sharing what I've been reading and thinking about this week, including a policy document from OpenAI proposing a robot tax, a national wealth fund, and a four-day work week. I'm also talking about what I think therapists need to start doing now to stay relevant, profitable, and actually useful to clients in a world where AI is moving faster than most of us are ready for.

AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:

• Why clients are turning to AI for bite-sized support and what that means for your caseload.
• How offering shorter, more accessible sessions could help you compete with on-demand AI tools.
• Why diversifying your income now, before the disruption peaks, is one of the smartest moves you can make.
