Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get free therapy for depression online?

Yes. Options include community health centers (sliding scale), university training clinics, SAMHSA's helpline (1-800-662-4357), and AI therapy apps. Lovon offers free voice-based sessions using CBT and behavioral activation — the gold standard for depression treatment.

What type of therapy is best for depression?

CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and behavioral activation are the most effective evidence-based treatments for depression. They help challenge negative thought patterns and rebuild daily routines. Lovon uses both techniques in every voice session.

How long does it take for therapy to help with depression?

Most people notice improvement within 6-12 sessions of CBT. With daily practice — like Lovon's voice sessions and check-ins — many users report shifts in mood and thinking patterns within 2-4 weeks. Consistency matters more than session length.

Can an app really help with depression?

Yes. Research shows app-based CBT interventions reduce depression symptoms, especially for mild to moderate cases. Voice-based therapy like Lovon adds a conversational layer that helps process emotions more deeply than text or worksheets alone.

When should I see a doctor instead of using free therapy?

Seek professional help if symptoms persist more than two weeks, interfere with work or daily life, or include thoughts of self-harm. Free AI therapy is a support tool, not a clinical replacement. If you're in crisis, contact the 988 Lifeline immediately.
