92. AI-Delivered CBT Is Here, and It Might Be Good News

A new study in Nature Medicine found that AI-delivered CBT outperformed human therapists, and before you panic or dismiss it entirely, there's a more interesting conversation to have here.

In this episode of Run Your Private Practice with AI, I'm breaking down what the study actually looked at, why it's not the threat it sounds like, and how you can use this same idea right now to work smarter in your practice. There's also some important news about AI chatbot legislation rolling out across the country that every therapist needs to know about.

AI Tips You Don’t Want to Miss:

• Using Auralink Pro's Ava for between-session check-ins and pre-session client summaries.
• How AI handling structured CBT frees you up for deeper clinical work.
• Generating custom CBT exercises and worksheets with ChatGPT or Berries, no PHI needed.
• A simple upsell model using AI tools to add a VIP tier to your practice.
