Text-based or chat therapy is a form of counseling over text messages. Unlike in-person or video therapy, you will talk to your counselor exclusively through our secure messenger, where you can exchange text messages and share media files.
Chat therapy has the advantage of being a lot more convenient as it is asynchronous. You don’t have to schedule a specific time for a session. Instead, you can message your counselor whenever a thought occurs and get a reply during their business hours.
If you feel shy or anxious about starting therapy, text therapy can also be useful, as it lets you explore feelings at your own pace.
Reading Time: < 1 minute
After you sign up and get matched with a counselor, you’ll have a secure and private room to chat and exchange media. Remember that while you’re free to send messages anytime, your counselor will respond during their business hours.

Text therapy can be incredibly effective for various mental health issues, from stress and anxiety to relationship problems. The text-based format allows for thoughtful expression and makes it easy to spell out some difficult things to say out loud.
However, it’s essential to note that text therapy might not be suitable for severe mental health conditions or emergency situations, where a stronger bond with a counselor – offered by video therapy – can help.

Text therapy offers several unique advantages. Here are just a few:
- Convenience: No need to commute to a therapist’s office.
- Anonymity: Some people find it easier to open up when there’s a screen between them and their therapist.
- Flexibility: Text whenever you like. You’re not confined to a specific appointment time.
Cost-effectiveness: Often, text therapy is more cost-effective than traditional in-person sessions.

The cost of text therapy can vary depending on your chosen subscription plan. We offer several different packages to meet your needs. The messaging-only plan starts at $49.50 per week for the first month of therapy.
Reading Time: < 1 minute
If you want to go beyond text therapy, we offer a more traditional form – live video therapy. Each plan comes with a set number of monthly video sessions with an option to always buy extra sessions anytime you need.
The best part is that all video plans also come with unlimited texting. So you get to explore both options and see which suits you best.
