Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of implementing artificially intelligent chatbot avatars for psychotherapeutic purposes. Overall, individuals had neutral to positive perceptions of implementing artificially intelligent chatbot avatars in therapy. While technology could never replace the personal therapeutic connection a therapist makes with a client, the technology has potential to enhance the therapeutic process.
