/s... Right...?

Partially.

There's probably a way to optimize in this sphere. What's important is the perception of a relationship with the professional, but on the professional's side, the application of their knowledge in the most effective way.

The masses may not be able to afford in person, one on one sessions.

But if they can be provided a means to speak their mind, discuss their problems, and have a meaningful response? That's still exceptionally helpful, especially with that response being crafted by a professional in a medical capacity.

The validity of my method can be highlighted by how many are using LLMs for "therapy". Often they're just talking, looking for a sounding board.

The problem is, LLMs are by no means therapists. Their responses are not really targeting this specific category, nor are they really helpful in sussing out a more significant medical problem.

Yet a therapist with such a setup could provide an in-between solution. Actual real skill and training, without the costs of a full one-on-one.
