2

24 hour reminder

When to use: Use this 24 hours before the session.

Text

Hi client name, a gentle reminder of your appointment with practice name tomorrow at date and time. Reply C to confirm, or reschedule here: link. Looking forward to seeing you.

When to use it

Send this 24 hours before the session.

Send tip

A warm, low-key reminder respects the sensitivity of therapy. Keep the wording neutral so the message stays private even at a glance on a lock screen.

4

Confirm or reschedule

When to use: Use this when you want confirmation and to remind of the policy.

Text

Hi client name, can you confirm your appointment with practice name on date and time? Reply C to keep it. If you need to cancel, please do so 24 hours ahead here: link to avoid a fee.

When to use it

Use this when you want confirmation and to remind of the cancellation policy.

Send tip

Stating the cancellation window kindly, before the cutoff, is fairer than a surprise fee and gives the time to another client who needs it.

5

Missed-session check-in

When to use: Use this after a missed session, with a caring, no-judgment tone.

Text

Hi client name, we did not see you at your appointment with practice name today, and that is okay. Life happens. Whenever you are ready, you can rebook here: link or call phone number.

When to use it

Send this after a missed session, with a caring, no-judgment tone.

Send tip

For therapy, a missed session can carry weight. A warm, non-judgmental note lowers shame and keeps the door open, which matters more here than a filled slot.

6

Between-session nudge

When to use: Use this for a client who has not booked a follow-up in a while.

Text

Hi client name, it has been a little while since your last session with practice name. No pressure at all. If it would help to check in, you can book a time here: link whenever you are ready.

When to use it

Send this to a client who has not booked a follow-up in a while.

Send tip

Keep it gentle and pressure-free. A soft, caring reopen respects the client's pace while making it easy to return if and when they want to.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these templates commercially?
Yes. Copy, edit, and use them in your business, client work, CRM, help desk, or sem.chat workspace.
Why are there six variants?
One generic template rarely fits every situation. Six variants give your team practical choices without a messy library.
Should I paste these into sem.chat?
Yes. Save the best variants as canned replies, knowledge base entries, routing rules, or CRM notes so your AI agent and team stay consistent.
How much detail should a therapy reminder include?
As little as possible. Confirm the practice, date, and time with no clinical detail or reason, so the message stays private even on a lock screen.
What tone should therapy reminders use?
Warm, calm, and non-judgmental. Therapy is sensitive, so gentle wording matters more here than in most other fields.
How do I handle a missed therapy session?
Send a caring, no-judgment check-in that lowers shame and keeps the door open. Recovering the relationship matters more than the slot.
Can I send telehealth links by text?
Yes. Send the private link the day of, and suggest the client find a quiet, comfortable space and join a few minutes early.
Should I remind clients of the cancellation policy?
Yes, kindly and before the cutoff. It is fairer than a surprise fee and frees the time for another client who needs it.
