I mean, it can be pretty coherent and impressive with the right LLM, but even then it's mostly just functioning to generate what you want it to, and it's certainly not going to provide professional insight for those that need it.

Yea it can be a lot more coherent, the above was just the autocorrect options on my phone that I pressed again and again.

But the LLM is not “listening” to you it is just providing the next likely words in a conversation based on what is in it’s database I believe…

Ai therapy sounds like a terrible idea…
