Is it normal to text your therapist?
Depends.It depends
Yes, many people text their therapist for scheduling or brief updates, but what’s appropriate depends on the therapist’s communication policy. It’s fine to ask what they’re comfortable handling by text and how quickly they usually respond.
Texting a therapist is pretty common for practical things like confirming or changing an appointment. Some therapists also allow brief between-session check-ins; others keep communication to sessions, a client portal, or email. It’s not rude to ask what works for them—it’s part of setting clear expectations.
