Rivet is the session app for therapists. Video sessions, EMDR, clinical templates, whiteboard, practitioner-private notes. Plus the practice phone underneath — your business number, voicemail inbox, two-way texting, and auto-response — so the calls and texts a client sends between sessions land in the same place as the session itself. This guide is the reference for using Rivet day-to-day. Short pages, plain language, organised by what you’re actually trying to do.
