An instructional technique derived from photovoice was compared with a didactic approach for empathic skill acquisition among 38 master's‐level counselors‐in‐training. Participants in the photovoice condition demonstrated marked improvements in quality of empathic statements compared with those receiving didactic lecture. Considerations for implementing this educational approach are provided.
