Can AI be my therapist?

Some teens tell me their most honest conversations are with a bot, and as a social worker, I certainly have an opinion or two, but instead of lecturing you, I asked a teen what she thought.
She has done this; she understands the whys and made some powerful points. We didn’t always agree, but isn’t that the point of these conversations?
If you've ever typed something into a chatbot at midnight that you'd never say to a real person, this one's for you.
