ABSTRACT
In this article, the author examines how humanistic counseling might adapt to artificial intelligence while preserving essential therapeutic values. I argue that humans have always been inseparable from the technologies that shape consciousness and relationships, yet we remain co-determining agents capable of guiding technological development toward human flourishing rather than passively accepting whatever innovations emerge. Drawing from dialogical humanism, I propose that counselors develop an understanding of how AI mediates therapeutic relationships while maintaining relational primacy and client self-determination. Effective humanistic practice demands neither categorical rejection nor uncritical embrace of AI, but contextual judgment about when and how integration serves healing, growth, and authentic encounter.
