What is text therapy?

Text therapy is a form of mental health counseling where clients communicate with licensed therapists primarily through text messages, either in real-time or asynchronously. This approach offers flexibility and privacy, allowing individuals to receive support and guidance without needing to attend in-person sessions. Text therapy can be beneficial for those who prefer written communication, have busy schedules, or feel more comfortable expressing themselves in writing. While it can be effective for a variety of concerns, it may not be suitable for severe mental health conditions that require face-to-face intervention.
