"ELIZA [was] actually used as a therapeutic tool"

Can you provide a reference for this? I've only ever seen it referred to as a toy, an oddity; never an actual tool.

Um, no. I no longer remember where I read it and some web searches only show up a paper studying its use as a therapeutic tool, which isn't the same thing.

I don't believe I hallucinated it, but if it did happen it's obviously not widespread.
