Meh. I'll agree that chatbots shouldn't be allowed to claim they have credentials, like anyone else. But a lot of therapists do nothing except sit there and listen to you, tell you what you want to hear, give some standard advice you could have gotten from a self-help book, and hand you a bill. An LLM can replace the first three functions just fine. If you can get your money's worth from talking to most therapists, you're probably self-aware enough to get it from bouncing your thoughts off an LLM.
