5 Ways to Use AI in Your Practice in 2026

You know AI could help your practice, you just don't know where to start. Most therapists are either overwhelmed by AI or ignoring it completely. But there's a sweet spot in the middle where AI becomes your secret weapon for getting more done while avoiding burnout. In this episode, I'm sharing the top 5 ways you can use AI in your practice in 2026. (#5 is definitely my favorite!) What You'll Learn: 1. Write your clinical notes – Stop working late by using AI to draft your notes in minutes instead of hours. Tools like Berries, Blueprint, SimplePractice's Note Taker, TherapyNotes' TherapyFuel, and Quill can transform your documentation workflow. 2. Get 24/7 business coaching – Build an AI Advisory Team that gives you expert help with marketing, finances, and strategic planning without the hefty price tag. I'll tell you about Sam, Brenda, Jason, and Steve (my AI team members). 3. Enjoy marketing again (or at least hate it less 😅) – Use AI to write blog posts, create email campaigns, and generate social content in your voice. You edit and approve, but the heavy lifting is done. 4. Speed up every admin task – From sorting your inbox to creating email templates, AI can help you reclaim 5+ hours a week by handling the busywork. 5. Never miss another call – Your AI receptionist can answer every single call and respond to every chat instantly, 24/7/365. This solves the #1 problem all practice owners face: missing new inquiries.
