the problem is, any time you need to be in the right frame of mind when using AI cause you cant trust it to not lie to you. They all lie.

and when you need therapy.. you're not in the right frame of mind.

its exactly the wrong tool for the job.

Yes it can lie. But so do friends. They're not licensed therapists (well at least not most of them). Still it helps talking to them.

I'm not saying it should replace the actual therapist. It can just be somebody to discuss things with when no real person is available. Just the act of explaining yourself already helps a ton.
