My experience with this has been positive. My therapist she has said it's fine as long as I'm okay with her not always responding. It hasn't been a drama or anything of a negative nature that I've seen alluded to by those who feel it's not a good idea. It's been helpful for me, and when I don't feel like emailing for a period of time, I don't. Every person and situation is different. No one size fits all, especially when it comes to therapy.
