And those solutions are not LLMs. It's been shown elsewhere (and in the OP, it seems) that LLMs are very bad therapists, severe malpractice bad.

I have, for instance, used LLMs a couple of times to assess and reflect over the few situations I have been questioning myself about recently. And I thought it did really well, much better than what most of my well-thought friends would do. Some proper advice and reflection. I did this in 1hr of my spare time completely randomly (before I went to a sleep) and without extra time spent on finding the (right) therapist, waiting on the list, going physically into his/her office, spending that 1hr there, and finally paying some cash. So, for me in this particular case this was an obvious win.
