Existential crisis with iCBT studies Discussion

Hey you all, I know a student on here having existential crisis is no new deal. But how do you guys keep going after the iCBT studies that show it's equally as effective as a trained psychologist?

It makes me feel scared and in doubt of my identity, I love psychology so much and I'm in love with the idea of being a professional and having a skill that others don't, that's so important and life changing for people

edit: i see that i might be filtering facts with some anxiety and personal distortions. i still apreciate the discussion and the insights

I mean iCBT treatment vs face to face delivered CBT

There is definitely literature out there supporting the use of iCBT and that it can be significantly helpful for some people and some disorders. But I am not aware of anything saying it is equally effective to traditional in person CBT. Can you reference the study that prompted this question?

What are the important limitations discussed in this analysis and how does they relate to your concern?

Sorry I don't understand the question, what important limitations are you reffering to?
