Based on a nearly universal sense (reading/personal experience/conversations with doctors) that it’s hard to find an in-network psychiatrist/psychologist who’s will to see a new patient, my prior on this is very low.

That would help too. But there’s probably a large set of people who could be helped if the “access” barrier was reduced/removed on its own.

Agreed for both rationalists and non-rationalists.

Which condition(s) specifically come to mind when you think of something that “clinical psychology research already has...covered”? I was unable to think of one off the top of my head.

Huh, that is very much not the experience I’ve had personally, or that people I’ve spoke with have had. I’ve found that it can be difficult to find a therapist who you like, but to find a therapist who just accepts your insurance and is willing to see you/new patients, I’ve never spoke with someone who has had trouble with that. Context: I’m in America.

Well I’m not sure how well they really do have it covered (hence my saying “Maybe, maybe not.”). I was just thinking about the fact that there is in fact a large group of people working on it, and they seem to have made at least some non-trivial amount of progress. Ie. cognitive behavioral therapy.
