Wired for Wisdom: Integrating AI Thoughtfully into the Healing Relationship

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into therapeutic practice offers clinicians innovative tools to augment, not replace, the therapeutic alliance. This presentation explores how AI can support therapists in delivering personalized, effective care through applications such as AI-generated music (e.g., Suno), personalized poetry, behavioral tracking, custom recordings, guided meditations, affirmations, and therapeutic apps. Grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory and neuroscience, AI tools can assist in monitoring client behaviors, identifying patterns, and providing real-time feedback, thereby facilitating neuroplasticity and reinforcing positive behavioral changes. For instance, AI-driven platforms can generate personalized soundscapes that promote relaxation and emotional regulation, aligning with findings that music therapy can significantly impact neural pathways associated with stress and anxiety (CassetteAI, 2024).

Moreover, AI applications can streamline administrative tasks, such as progress note documentation and treatment planning, allowing therapists to allocate more time to direct client engagement. Tools like AutoNotes have demonstrated efficacy in reducing clinician burnout by automating routine documentation processes (AutoNotes, 2025). Ethical considerations remain paramount in the deployment of AI in therapy. Ensuring client confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, and maintaining transparency about AI's role in treatment are critical. Therapists must also be vigilant about potential biases in AI algorithms and strive to use culturally competent and inclusive tools.

This session will provide clinicians with practical strategies for integrating AI into their practice responsibly. Attendees will gain insights into selecting appropriate AI tools, customizing interventions to meet individual client needs, and upholding ethical standards in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Too Much Emotion Regulation? RO-DBT for Rigid, Perfectionistic, and Overcontrolled Clients

Many therapy modalities have been developed to help dysregulated clients learn to regulate their emotions. Among them, notably, DBT. However, while DBT devotes much attention to individuals whose emotions are unstable and whose behaviors are out-of-control and impulsive, it neglects individuals at the other end of the dysregulation spectrum. RO-DBT is a "sister" therapy of DBT that aims to help individuals who are more rigid, emotionally cut off, overcontrolled and perfectionistic. Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that emphasizes openness, flexibility, and social connectedness as key pathways to emotional well-being.Through lecture and experiential exercise, this workshop will provide an overview of RO-DBT, its underlying theory and conceptualization, and some of the skills and strategies used.

Dr. Fried specializes in the treatment of personality disorders and is the co-founder and clinical director of Machon Dvir, an outpatient and intensive-outpatient mental health service catering to the complex and high-risk client population.)
