AI supports your work, it does not replace it

AI supports your work, it does not replace it

AI is a clinical assistant, not a clinician.

It can support you with:

• Documentation and session summaries

• Case conceptualization

• Treatment planning

• Clinical reflection

• Psychoeducation materials

• Client exercises and worksheets

AI can reduce repetitive work and support your clinical reasoning. Your expertise, therapeutic relationship, and professional responsibility remain essential.

Two principles guide responsible use:

Review everything

AI-generated content is a first draft. Always review, adapt, and personalize the output before using it clinically.

Protect client data

Only use approved clinical AI platforms for client information. Follow your organization’s privacy policies and applicable regulations. Never enter identifiable client information into general AI tools unless explicitly permitted.

How to write effective prompts

How to write effective prompts

A good prompt helps AI understand what you need. The most useful prompts usually include:


Role

Who should the AI act as?

Example:

You are an experienced clinical psychologist specializing in trauma-focused therapy.


Context

What information does the AI need to understand the situation?

Example:

The client is a 32-year-old experiencing panic symptoms after a car accident. They are currently in the assessment phase of treatment.


Task

What do you want the AI to create or help with?

Example:

Create a structured case conceptualization based on this information.


A useful formula:

“Act as [role]. The context is [relevant information]. Help me with [specific task]. Please include [specific requirements].”

The more specific the request, the more useful the response will be.

Using AI in WeMind

Using AI in WeMind

WeMind is designed for clinical practice and already understands the therapeutic context.

During a session:

• Activate the transcriber.

• Add your own clinical notes.

• Afterwards, use the AI assistant to structure and reflect on the information.

Because the relevant context is already available, you can focus mainly on the task.


Examples:

• “Create a session summary.”

• “Generate a SOAP note.”

• “Draft a treatment plan.”

• “Create a case conceptualization.”

• “Suggest follow-up questions for the next session.”

AI throughout your clinical workflow

AI throughout your clinical workflow

Before a session: prepare efficiently

Copy and adapt:

Review the previous session information below and help me prepare for the next appointment.

Client information:

[Paste relevant notes]

Please identify:

• Important themes and patterns

• Progress made so far

• Areas that may need further exploration

• Missing information

• Five useful follow-up questions for the next session


After a session: structure documentation

Copy and adapt:

Turn the following session notes into a professional clinical summary.

Session notes:

[Paste notes]

Please include:

• Main topics discussed

• Client’s emotional responses and observations

• Interventions used

• Client progress

• Important follow-up points

Keep the summary concise and suitable for a clinical record.


As a clinical thinking partner

AI can help expand your thinking without replacing clinical judgment.

Copy and adapt:

Act as a clinical supervisor and help me reflect on this case.

Case information:

[Paste case formulation]

Please help me identify:

• Alternative hypotheses

• Possible maintaining factors

• Potential blind spots

• Additional questions I should consider

• Possible next steps in treatment

Personalized therapy materials

Personalized therapy materials

AI can help create personalized:

• Psychoeducation

• Homework assignments

• Worksheets

• Client-friendly explanations

• Therapeutic exercises

• Imagery scripts

Personalized materials often feel more relevant because they connect to the client’s own experiences.

Example:

Create a simple explanation of the fight-flight-freeze response for a client who experiences panic attacks. Use everyday language and include an example they can recognize from daily life.

Intake report

Create a structured intake report based on the information below.


Client information:

[Paste information]


Include:

• Presenting concerns

• Relevant history

• Current symptoms

• Impact on daily functioning

• Risk factors

• Protective factors

• Relevant clinical observations

• Areas requiring further assessment

Write in professional clinical language.


Case conceptualization

Create a clinical case conceptualization based on the information below.


Client information:

[Paste information]


Please structure it using:

• Presenting problems

• Relevant developmental and life history

• Triggering events

• Vulnerability factors

• Maintaining factors

• Protective factors

• Possible underlying mechanisms

• Diagnostic considerations (without making a definitive diagnosis)

• Suggested treatment focus

Keep the formulation clinically grounded and concise.


Treatment plan

Help me draft a treatment plan based on this case.


Client information:

[Paste information]


Include:

• Main treatment goals

• Specific objectives

• Possible interventions

• How progress could be monitored

• Factors that may support or hinder treatment


Clinical reflection

Act as a clinical supervisor.


Review this case:

[Paste case information]


Help me reflect on:

• Alternative ways of understanding this case

• Possible blind spots

• Questions I should explore further

• How my therapeutic approach could be adjusted


Psychoeducation material

Create a client-friendly explanation about [topic].


The client is:

[Age and relevant background]


The goal is:

[Explain a concept / prepare for an intervention / support homework]

Use simple language, avoid clinical jargon, and include an example from everyday life.

Using image generation in therapy

Using image generation in therapy

AI image generation can support therapy by creating visual materials such as:

• Psychoeducation illustrations

• Metaphors and visual explanations

• Emotion identification materials

• Personalized therapeutic exercises

• Visual aids for explaining psychological concepts

Images can be useful when explaining abstract concepts or helping clients visualize situations, emotions, or coping strategies.

A good image prompt includes:


What should be shown?

A person noticing physical sensations of anxiety while waiting in a supermarket queue.


Why is it being created?

A visual aid to explain anxiety responses during therapy.


What style is appropriate?

A realistic, calm, therapeutic illustration suitable for an adult client.


Important context

Avoid making the situation unnecessarily frightening. Focus on accurately representing the client’s experience.


Example:

Create a realistic therapeutic illustration showing a person experiencing anxiety while standing in a supermarket checkout line. Show common anxiety responses such as tension, racing thoughts, and increased awareness of bodily sensations. The image should feel calm and suitable for explaining anxiety during therapy.

Using AI for exposure-related materials

Using AI for exposure-related materials

Exposure-based interventions are not about creating frightening experiences for clients. They involve helping clients gradually approach situations, memories, sensations, or triggers that they currently avoid or find difficult.

The goal is not simply to remove emotions immediately, but to help clients learn that difficult emotions can be tolerated, that feared outcomes may not occur, that anxiety and emotional responses can naturally change over time, and that avoidance is often what keeps problems going.

AI can support preparation of exposure-related visual materials, but the therapist determines suitability, pacing, and clinical application.

Example prompt:

Create a realistic therapeutic image of [single everyday situation]. The scene should show [specific details relevant to the client’s difficulty] in a calm, neutral, and clinically appropriate way. The image will be used to support exposure work in therapy. Avoid exaggerated danger, horror, or sensational elements. Make it suitable for discussion and gradual exposure with a client who finds this situation difficult.

Key principles

✓ Use AI to create first drafts, not final clinical decisions.

✓ Use AI to reduce repetitive work and support clinical reasoning.

✓ Personalize all materials to the individual client.

✓ Review and adapt every AI-generated output.

✓ Clinical judgment remains the final step.
