Welcome to PracAI
An interactive training platform for therapists-in-training to build core counseling skills using AI simulations.
How It Works
PracAI lets you practice counseling skills in real-time conversations with an AI that simulates client behaviors. You choose a skill to focus on, respond to client messages, and receive gentle, structured feedback.
- 🧠 Choose a module (Reflection, Probing, etc.)
- 💬 Respond to simulated client statements
- ✅ Get feedback and try again
- 🔁 Repeat sessions to build confidence and insight
How to Talk to the AI
You can treat the AI like a simulated client or a skill coach. Try any of these:
🗣 Respond to Client
"You're feeling stuck and overwhelmed."
❓ Ask for Help
"Can you remind me what a complex reflection sounds like?"
📌 Check In
"How am I doing so far?"
🔄 Restart
"Can we try a new example?"
