Join the Houston Psychological Association for its Monthly CE Training featuring Jessica Jackson, who will present “Clinical Practice in the Digital Era: AI and Emerging Technologies.”
Digital mental health is reshaping the clinical landscape. Today’s therapeutic ecosystem includes AI-assisted documentation, generative tools that support treatment planning, digital assessments, predictive analytics, virtual reality exposure interventions, app-based adjuncts, asynchronous care platforms, and data-informed care models. For therapists, the critical question is not whether these tools exist, but how they meaningfully integrate into clinical practice. This 60-minute workshop provides a structured, clinically grounded framework for evaluating and incorporating digital mental health technologies into clinical care. Participants will explore practical use cases across the treatment ecosystem, from behind-the-scenes workflow supports to client-facing digital interventions, and apply a step-by-step decision model to assess fit, clinical utility, and limitations.
Designed for psychologists and mental health professionals who work with adult clients, this session offers a valuable opportunity to stay informed, think critically about technology’s growing role in clinical work, and consider how digital tools may impact both providers and clients.
Key Takeaways:
Differentiate among major categories of digital mental health technologies, including AI-assisted documentation, generative AI tools, virtual reality interventions, digital assessments, predictive analytics, and app-based adjuncts and describe their potential roles within clinical practice.
Develop a structured digital tool integration checklist that evaluates clinical fit, therapeutic impact, client safety, cultural responsiveness, privacy considerations, and scope of practice before incorporating a digital tool into treatment.
Apply clear clinical criteria to determine when digital mental health tools are appropriate, when caution is warranted, and when integration may not be clinically indicated.
