Manual bookings and approved requests share the practice calendar. Reminder channels can be enabled separately.

Owner perspective

Manage sessions and clients on one calendar.

Use therapy & counseling labels, add a phone booking, review online requests, and approve them when needed. Email reminders are free on every plan; texts and WhatsApp use message credits, included on Starter and Pro.

Review requests before confirming
Turn on manual approval so every online request waits for you. Confirm only the sessions that fit your caseload.
Session lengths and buffers
Give 50-minute sessions and longer first appointments their own durations, with buffer time for notes and a breather between clients.
Per-therapist availability
Each therapist has their own working hours, time off, and session types. Clients only see times that work for the therapist they choose.
Repeat sessions on Pro
On Pro, keep a client's regular weekly or every-other-week slot as a series from the owner calendar.
What the client experiences

A client can see what was booked and what happens next.

The portal shows the service menu, team member, appointment status, business details, and secure manage link.

FAQ

Questions from therapy & counseling owners.

Is Slot Turn HIPAA-compliant?+

No. Slot Turn does not offer a BAA and is not built to hold protected health information. Use it for appointment times and contact details only, and check your local rules before you start.

Can I keep session notes or intake forms in Slot Turn?+

No. Appointment notes are for booking context, not clinical records. Keep session notes and intake forms in your practice records system.

Does Slot Turn run video sessions?+

No. Slot Turn books the appointment. Share your video link through the tool you already use for online sessions.

Can a client keep the same weekly slot?+

On Pro, create a repeating series from the owner calendar. Clients booking online book one session at a time.

Does it handle insurance or billing?+

No. Slot Turn does not take payments, bill insurance, or produce superbills. Keep billing in the system you use today.

Slot Turn helps you run bookings and talk to clients. It does not replace your legal cancellation policy, payment provider terms, or regulated-industry compliance requirements.
