The Challenges Clinical Educators Face

Students Know the Theory. The Conversation Is Different.

Without Praxplay

Students understand the theory but have limited opportunities to practice applying it.
Peer roleplay can feel awkward, inconsistent, or unrealistic.
Students may enter practicum without enough experience responding in the moment.
Faculty have limited visibility into how students make decisions during a conversation.

With Praxplay

Students practice realistic client conversations before practicum.
Scenarios can be repeated so students can reflect, adjust, and improve.
Structured feedback helps students understand their choices.
Faculty can use the experience to support deeper reflection and coaching.

Powerful Tools for Counselor Educators

Everything you need to integrate AI simulation into your curriculum

Custom Coursework Creation

Design specific clinical scenarios and learning objectives. Assign clients with particular presenting concerns, specify required modalities, and set skill development goals tailored to your course outcomes.

Student Progress Tracking

Monitor each student's development with detailed analytics. See session counts, skill progression, areas of strength and growth, and overall indicators of clinical readiness.

Session Review & Grading

Review student session transcripts, reflections, and AI feedback. Provide your own comments, and facilitate peer feedback.

Peer Review Integration

Enable students to provide feedback to each other on clinical work. Foster collaborative learning, develop evaluation skills, and build professional community within your cohort.

AI Client Library

Access a diverse library of pre-built AI clients presenting various issues: anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, and more. Or create custom clients for specific learning objectives.

Competency Alignment

Map coursework activities to specific program competencies and accreditation standards.

Student Privacy Aligned with FERPA Principles

Practice sessions are private by default and accessible only to the student unless explicitly shared. Instructors can view submitted coursework, but not private practice data. We follow student privacy best practices and design our systems with features intended to support your institution's FERPA compliance efforts, without collecting or disclosing student data beyond what is necessary to provide the service.

We recommend that institutions review our Privacy Policy and Security documentation to ensure it meets their specific compliance needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from instructors and programs about Praxplay

Instructors use Praxplay to give students structured practice between class sessions. You can point students to specific scenarios to rehearse, then use class and supervision time for deeper clinical discussion instead of basic skill drilling. We are actively building institution-level features including instructor dashboards, assignment creation, and analytics — reach out for early access.

Yes. Scenarios can be tailored to the skills, populations, and settings your course covers — from intake interviews to crisis response — so practice maps directly to your learning objectives rather than generic role-play.

It is designed to. Students arrive having already practiced, reflected, and adjusted, so supervision shifts from surface-level review to higher-value clinical insight. Praxplay also provides structured per-session feedback automatically, supplementing — not replacing — your guidance.

Praxplay develops the experiential, skills-based competencies accreditation emphasizes — therapeutic communication, clinical decision-making, and reflective practice. It supplements required supervised practicum and internship experiences; it does not substitute for the direct-service hours accreditation requires.

Students receive feedback and transcripts for every session, and instructor-facing progress tracking and analytics are part of the institution feature set we are developing. If program-level visibility is important to you, contact us about early access.

Praxplay is designed to support institutional privacy requirements and is used by educational institutions in a manner consistent with FERPA. Institutions remain responsible for their own FERPA compliance, and FERPA-related documentation is available upon request.

Praxplay runs in any modern web browser — no downloads or special equipment required. Students create an account and can begin practicing immediately; institutional onboarding options are available for programs adopting Praxplay across a cohort.
