When you’re hundreds of kilometres from a psychologist and the nearest clinic appointment is two weeks away, mental-health apps become the bridge between coping and crashing. The transition period from site to home is exactly when routine therapy is least accessible — you’re tired, travelling, and emotionally overstimulated. Digital tools fill that space perfectly.

Today, millions of people find support through their phones: in guided meditations, CBT modules, or even lifelike AI therapists who can talk and listen 24/7. But the rise of digital therapy has created a new question: can mental health apps truly replace traditional therapy, or are they best used together?

From fears of robots replacing therapists to assumptions that AI can’t understand emotions, myths about AI therapy spread fast. In reality, modern AI therapy is emotionally intelligent, regulated, and designed to support — not replace — human therapists. Here are the top five myths, debunked.

Can AI therapy really understand emotions? While AI doesn’t feel emotions like humans do, it’s becoming remarkably good at recognising language, tone, and facial cues — and responding with surprising empathy. By acting as an “emotional translator,” AI therapy can offer adaptive, human-like support that helps people feel genuinely understood.

Around the world, millions of people can’t access mental-health support when they need it most — due to cost, geography, stigma, or long waitlists. Accessible AI therapy is helping to break these barriers by offering affordable, on-demand, culturally adaptable support through intelligent, empathetic technology. From rural communities to urban students, platforms like therappai are expanding mental-health access in ways traditional systems alone never could.

The rapid growth of AI therapy — from text-based CBT chatbots to hyper-realistic AI video therapists — has sparked headlines suggesting that “robots will replace therapists” or that “AI is coming for your job."

Thanks to AI mental health tools, you don’t just log emotions — you get real-time insights, patterns, and personalized strategies. This isn’t just journaling anymore; it’s AI therapy mood tracking, turning raw feelings into actionable steps toward better wellbeing.

Video-based AI therapists — lifelike avatars that listen, respond, and guide you in real time — are changing the way people experience mental health support.

As powerful as text therapy can be, it misses something fundamental: human presence. The warmth of a smile, the comfort of eye contact, and the natural rhythm of a conversation can’t be fully captured in a text bubble. That’s why the next frontier in digital mental health is here: AI therapy with video chat.
