Abstract
This paper explores the application and potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychological therapy as well as its implications for Chinese psychotherapy firm "JianDanXinLi" or otherwise known as SimpleTherapy. Through an analysis of several AI psychological therapy service platforms, it reveals the principles of integrating AI into modern psychotherapy and demonstrates that AI technology can serve as a flexible alternative and supplementary means for optimizing data in the therapeutic process. Although AI technology cannot fully replace human services, it can significantly expand and enhance the scope and effectiveness of therapy. Additionally, this paper discusses the challenges faced by AI technology in integrating psychological therapy, especially regarding issues of empathy.
