My t doesn't allow texting or emailing anytime for reasons of confidentiality concerns, her own self care, and so not to fuel any kind of dependency.

As for calls after hours, I wonder if she tailors that a bit to suit each clients needs as she gets to know them. I don't know. When I first started with her a year ago, she told me she allows 2 emergency-only between session calls. After the second call, a discussion about how to better use coping skills would be needed. I have called her twice with non-emergency yet pressing matters. There was no after discussion on coping skills. She has since told me I can call her when I need to.

I do not expect my t to be at anyone's beck and call 24/7, or even 12/5. I greatly respect my t's boundaries and her need for her own self-care and personal life. Given the nature of the business though, I think t's would be wise to factor in a little time during their week (an hour?) to deal with brief, occasional, out of session contact that clients sometimes need.
