Despite popular belief, distance therapy services like voice call therapy via phone are not new. They’ve been around since the 1950s when the first mental health hotline was created.
This form of therapy is suitable for people who feel uncomfortable with video calls. Phone sessions can also be a good backup option for situations when there are tech issues or poor connections that interrupt a live video session.
Voice call therapy offers the utmost convenience and comfort because it allows you to attend your appointment comfortably from home. A conversation over the phone offers the advantage of being able to hear your therapist’s voice, and your therapist can hear yours.
Voice call therapy requires good communication skills, but it has solid evidence supporting its effectiveness and can be considered a viable option for providing psychotherapy. Most research suggests that it works just as well as in-person therapy.
