I will also preface by saying, that there very much is an issue with having for-profit (mental) health system. That said, I don't think what you're pointing at goes beyond issue of monopolization (giving one side of the market relatively more power) and those previously mentioned. To give an example, you'd achieve the same problem if they simply created 'mental health board' interest group with PR and lobbying - those can be very powerful, my personal favourite example being pork producers making 'bacon' a cool thing. Putting competition out of business seems tangential to other points in the thread, unless I'm missing something. The problem is inherent, apps just streamline process and make it more clear. Relaying on disorganization of some class to produce friction that will limit their whole effectiveness (including part that is clearly harmful) is a delay tactic at best, not a solution.
