Automated psychology (CBT) is apparently a research topic now
I have an internal feeling it should be unethical, but why exactly? If it will help people or reach a reasonable performance at one point?
(directing people's thoughts automatically sounds dangerous though)

*Of course as a helper for therapists this is always a good tool (aid rather than replace is always easier to explain)

CBT is actually quite harmful to a lot of people seeking psychological help, so having it administered by an AI instead of a human who can observe how a person is responding sounds very, very dangerous to me.
