I'm not sure if that would be deemed therapy or not.

That's probably more therapy-like than just a quick check-in on occasion, particularly since you indicated it was a regular routine for you two.
My T doesn't do texts or emails, but we did talk by phone. However, it was only on rare occasions, so there was no charge. I suspect if I was calling several times a week for a prolonged conversation, there would be a point at which he would have applied a charge because that would have gone beyond emergency situations and into the area of ongoing phone therapy between sessions.
