Abstract

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the premise that thoughts exert a direct influence on individuals' emotions and behaviors. With the advancement of digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI), these tools are increasingly being integrated into psychotherapeutic practice, especially as support for CBT interventions. This study aimed to investigate the use of AI-powered digital applications in psychotherapeutic practice, emphasizing their potential for emotion monitoring and the facilitation of communication between patient and therapist. The research involved a literature review and practical application of the Cogni app, complemented by weekly meetings for discussion and reflection on the experiences. A key reference is a 2019 observational study by Cormack et al., which revealed high adherence rates to digital mood and cognitive assessments. The results suggest that digital technologies, when applied ethically and with professional supervision, can become valuable tools in the psychotherapeutic context. The study concludes that incorporating AI into CBT represents an innovative and promising resource, provided it is accompanied by adequate training and critical reflection on its limitations and implications.
