This is among the fields I do think AI can help. If you haven't tried it, ask your bot what your MBTI is, and it's surprising accurate.

Hmm, has knowing your MBTI helped you though? I did a couple similar exercises in the past at work. It felt like a great revelation at first, but I always forgot about it soon after and stuck to how I was.

It helps in a way that the chatbot knows more about the person's personality than people may have realized. And that is helpful it comes to therapy communication and state of mind. IMHO

Right, do you mind expanding on this? I'm curious but I struggle to understand. Maybe if you have an example that might help.

Let me first say that I can be wrong as well.

However, the way I think about it is that people respond better to different way of communication, and knowing a person's preferred styled of communication will be helpful in helping a person open up and get to the root of issue.
