While AI-assisted text-based counseling is gaining attention, it remains empirically unclear which counselor behaviors are associated with higher dialogue quality. Existing research often focuses heav...
The paper investigates which counselor behaviors correlate with higher dialogue quality in AI-assisted text-based counseling. Using the KokoroChat dataset, the authors find that the strategy of affirmation consistently associates with better session quality, more so than reflection. Cross-dataset experiments suggest this signal also appears, to some extent, in an English dataset of non-expert supporters.
Graph2Counsel is a framework that generates synthetic counseling dialogues by leveraging Client Psychological Graphs (CPGs) to encode the relationships among a client’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The system uses a structured prompting pipeline guided by counselor strategies and explores techniques such as Chain‑of‑Thought and Multi‑Agent Feedback to produce 760 realistic sessions from 76 CPGs. Expert evaluation shows the dataset surpasses previous ones in specificity, counselor competence, authenticity, conversational flow, and safety, and fine‑tuning an open‑source model on it improves performance on several counseling benchmarks.

arXiv:2607. 25667v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Psychotherapists need repeated training and supervision by experts; however, scalability is problematic.
The paper introduces MACD, a Multi-Agent Clinical Diagnosis framework that enables large language models to self‑learn clinical knowledge through a multi‑agent pipeline of summarization, refinement, and application. MACD is extended into a human‑AI collaborative workflow where multiple diagnostician agents consult iteratively, guided by a judge agent and human oversight. Evaluation on the MIMIC‑MACD cohort shows significant gains in diagnostic accuracy—an average 11.6 percentage‑point improvement over authoritative knowledge for open‑weight LLMs and an 18.3‑percentage‑point boost over physician‑only diagnosis in text‑only vignettes.
