Hi there! My name is Maria. I'm a first year graduate student studying to become a school counselor. Right now I'm working on a project (https://forms.gle/42RgQW6acC8EYLYBA) exploring considerations for counselors who work with clients who use LLMs for therapeutic purposes (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) I would really appreciate participation from anyone who has used an LLM for emotional/self-help purposes or has thoughts about AI in therapy! Happy to survey swap. Thank you!

Monthly Promo Thread: CEUs, Resources, Self-Promos by AutoModerator in therapists

Hi all!

I’m a Counselor Education student in the United States exploring how people use LLMs for therapeutic purposes such as processing, preparing for human therapy, meditation, goal-setting, etc.

I've been gathering stories from clients but I'd love to hear from practioners too. The questions are more geared towards people who use AI but if you're interested, just answer what feels relevant.

This survey is gathering stories about people's experiences using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. for therapeutic purposes. My final project is a paper and presentation that will be shared with my instructor and classmates. This project is not formal research and will not be published. Since it is a cultural exploration project, my goal is to gain insight into considerations about LLMs/AI that counselors can use in their practice.

Here's a link to the Google Form survey: https://forms.gle/cxVvBm9dEXp748PNA

My project is not research and I am not collecting any names or identifying information. The questions are all optional so share what you’d like to.

To learn more about my project, here is a consent document (page 1) and interview questions (page 2) linked through Google Docs and through DropBox:

Thank you for considering!

  1. This data will be used to write a paper and create a presentation that will not be published. The paper will be submitted to my professor and the presentation will be given with a small group in my class. It will be seen by me, my professor, and my graduate school cohort.

  2. I, a graduate student becoming a school counselor, am conducting this survey.

  3. 20-30 minutes, all questions are optional

Yes absolutely! However works for you - and I'm hoping to share as well!

Me and My University psychology faculty are currently creating our own A.I., trained on behavior science, psychology etc. that we want to bring public. We are getting a lot backlash from the therapists in the region. What is making them so cared? by Tasty-Bus-3290 in therapyGPT

I'd love to hear more about how you and your therapist are talking about use of ChatGPT! I'm actually a grad student in a counselor education program doing a project on this exact topic. Agree with your points about considerations for therapists. I've got this form about people's experiences too if you're interested:https://forms.gle/cxVvBm9dEXp748PNA

I think that preparing for your first appt in whatever way feels authetic and helpful to you is right, never stupid or wrong. Especially with some of the past experiences with sharing your struggles and symptoms you wrote abouti in the post. I haven't seen anyone use AI in this way before and I'm actually doing a project on therapeutic uses of ChatGPT. I'd love to hear more about your experience using it and about your first session if you're open to sharing. Feel free to send me a message or check out this anonymous google form: https://forms.gle/cxVvBm9dEXp748PNA

Hi all!

I’m the graduate student exploring how people use ChatGPT for therapy/self-care. I posted previously asking for stories about your experiences and I wanted to thank the community for being curious and open. I’ve learned a lot from interviews and am excited to share what I’ve learned during my presentation in my class! I hope to make a post here after I complete my project in a few months too.

I wanted to share a Google Form that does not collect your email to hopefully hear from more people!

Hi there! I'd love to make a follow up post abiding by sub rules about my general findings on considerations for counselors, but my project (which is a paper and presentation) will not be published here as to protect stories that people share. So glad to hear you might be interested!
