EVA AI Seeks Therapist for AI-Companion Users
EVA AI is advertising a paid role for a licensed therapist to counsel people who feel emotionally affected by AI companions. TechRadar confirmed the listing, while the survey figures used to justify it come from EVA AI itself.
TechRadar reported that EVA AI, an AI companion platform, is recruiting a licensed therapist or counsellor for users who want to discuss relationships with AI characters. EVA AI's official job page lists the remote role at $200 per session and says previous AI experience is not required. The platform says applicants must hold a professional license such as LCSW, LMFT or LPC, or an equivalent qualification.
EVA AI says it surveyed 1,000 adults who have AI partners. It claims 72% wanted therapists who specialize in AI relationships and 68% said an argument with an AI affected the rest of their day. TechRadar interviewed EVA AI relationship expert Jaime Bronstein, who said clients had been bringing up AI relationships for about a year. She described chatbots as a possible way to practice conversation while also acknowledging dependency and game-like spending risks. EVA AI uses an in-app currency to unlock premium interactions. TechRadar asked whether that design could encourage excessive use or spending alongside emotional attachment.
The role responds to problems that an AI companion product may help create or intensify. A licensed professional could help some users, but the listing does not explain whether counseling will operate independently from the platform or how user welfare will be balanced against product engagement. The percentages are EVA AI's platform claims. Its public page does not provide the survey recruitment method, questions or full results. The description of the role as the world's first is also a marketing claim, and the job listing is not evidence that the service has produced clinical benefits.
