Asynchronous mental health interventions, studied for nearly three decades, have faced skepticism despite recent technological advances and increased adoption due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article reviews research on asynchronous interventions, focusing on conceptualization, effectiveness, and implementation. Asynchronous intervention is defined based on communication purpose, medium, type, and engagement. Research on effectiveness and potential influencing factors is summarized. Logistical, ethical, and legal considerations for implementation are reviewed. This literature review informs family and consumer sciences professionals about asynchronous mental health interventions and facilitates their implementation in an increasingly technology‐based society
