ai coach vs therapist
what is the difference between an ai coach and a therapist
A therapist is a licensed clinician who can diagnose and treat mental-health conditions and works often with the past and with healing. An AI coach like IX Coach is forward-looking: it helps with goals, habits, self-awareness, and decisions, and is not a substitute for therapy or clinical care. Many people use both — therapy for clinical needs, coaching for momentum between or alongside it. IX Coach is designed for the coaching role: always available, memory-aware, and adaptive across 20+ evidence-based methods.
