We can all agree that talking to a therapist over the phone is much more comfortable for many people as compared to fact-to-face conversations. Therapy over the phone makes it much easier for a person to speak honestly. Telephone therapy therefore yields more results because a person can receive counseling at the comfort of his home and not have the burden of keeping up appearances on his shoulder.

Studies indicate that more than 90% of people who receive Christian phone therapy continue with their treatment long after two or three sessions. Many people who physically go to therapy sessions usually quit after two or three visits with a therapist. More than half of the people who physically go to therapy sessions quit permanently compared to only 7.6% of people who receive counseling by phone.

Counseling by phone is also a great way for people to reach professional counselors when they are in a situation where physically visiting the counselors is difficult. This is the case for people with medical conditions such as sclerosis or arthritis which make it difficult to travel. People suffering from depression also have a hard time getting enough motivation honor appointments with counselors. Sometimes people may have other reasons such as work obligations that would make it difficult to physically visit therapists. Therapy over the phone can happen any time that the patient is available and from any place.

Providing the psychological services that people need over the phone makes it more accessible to people who need it the most such as teenagers. It also saves them money because visiting a counselor at his place of work is usually more expensive. Even if the counselor charges for therapy sessions, the patient does not have to worry about expenses related to going to therapy such as gas and vehicle maintenance. The cost of telephone therapy has been shown to be as much as 36% lower than physical therapy sessions. Therapy over the phone is therefore very important especially when people are looking to cut down costs due to tough economic conditions.

Another benefit of Christian telephone therapy is that it gives patients a new perspective on the problems that they are going through. There are many men of God who are trained professional counselors and they provide patients with logical explanations as to why they are in the situations they find themselves in. Furthermore, Christian counselors are specially equipped to enable their patients to understand how their faith can be utilized to make their healing process more effective.

Of course not all problems are faith-based but going to a Christian therapist enables a patient to understand how psychological problems have common elements. Receiving counseling by a Christian enables a man of faith to be more open about his problems and this hastens the healing process. Christian therapy makes a patient to be able to understand that psychological problems can be corrected because there is a mind-body connection which is best addressed from a faith-based approach. This makes therapist by a Christian to be more effective than going to a nonbeliever for counseling.
