Therapist-Crafted AI Tools.
Leverage AI. Improve Therapy.
Are you a Therapist? Me too.
We Need PracticeField.io
What is PracticeField.io?
PracticeField is a modular library and therapeutic practice system that blends the wisdom of psychotherapy with the relational power of generative AI.
But it’s more than a tool suite. It’s a vital, clinician-led movement—empowering therapists to creatively shape and ethically guide how AI is integrated into mental health care.
At its core is the Practice Field Library: a curated, evolving collection of trauma-informed tools that support relational rehearsal, emotional integration, and insight-building for clients. These tools are designed for between-session growth, therapist-guided exploration, and client-centered transformation.
As therapists, we can lead the ethical integration of AI into care—leveraging its power, safeguarding mental health, and deepening our own balance and breath.
The therapeutic frame is evolving.
Therapists are burning out.
Because this work is exquisitely human—relational labor on hyperdrive. We carry vicarious trauma, the hourly grind, the ache of witnessing without resolution. It’s beautiful. It’s unsustainable.
Meanwhile, people are turning to AI—not for admin, but for relationship. Generative AI conversations are becoming spaces of resonance, insight, and emotional rehearsal. The tech is here. The need is clear.
We need a new therapeutic frame.
Not AI as therapist. Not AI as paperwork.
But AI as a co-constructed, ethically held practice field—a third presence in the relational field. A space where clients rehearse insight, build distress tolerance, and return to the human dyad with more language, more capacity, more integration.
This is the moment to extend—not replace—the healing arc of therapy.
To center the client. To resource the therapist.
To bring care into the spaces between.
I'm Jocelyn Skillman, LMHC, MHP, CMHS—a licensed therapist and relational design ethicist. My work sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and AI ethics, with a mission to ensure that generative AI is integrated into mental health care in protective, strategic, and deeply relational ways.
AI has real power—and real risks. Large Language Models (LLMs) can simulate resonance, spark insight, and scaffold new patterns of connection. But these tools must be shaped by those who understand the emotional, ethical, and developmental complexity of relational fields.
That’s why I’m building PracticeField: a therapist-led platform of AI-powered relational tools, designed not to replace therapy, but to extend its reach. Rooted in embodiment, consent, and connection, this suite offers clients safe, structured ways to rehearse growth between sessions—while protecting what makes therapy irreplaceable: the healing power of human presence.
Leverage AI for Mental Health.
We speak to ourselves as we've been spoken to.
Empower Clients
Empower clients to safely engage with AI—while holding space for deep integration and emotional metabolization within the core of the therapeutic alliance.
Diminish Emotional Loads
Let ethical AI hold structured emotional intensity between sessions—so you don’t have to hold it alone.
What are *LLMs?
LLMs (Large Language Models) are advanced AI systems trained on massive text datasets. They predict and generate sentences that read as if written by a person—but this is a pattern-based statistical output, not genuine understanding.
AI can simulate presence—but not embody it.
LLMs generate plausible responses, not genuine understanding. They’re powerful for structure, reflection, and rehearsal—but they can’t feel, intend, or repair.
Used wisely, AI can support emotional insight and relational growth. Used uncritically, it risks over-identification, reduced distress tolerance, and blurred boundaries of agency and care.
PracticeField is designed to honor this line—leveraging AI’s strengths while protecting what only humans can hold.
