How get reply text msg to come to email address

I send an email to my stepdaughter as a text phone#@vtext.com (for Verizon)
When she replies it goes to my iphone phone# - not sure why since I sent it fro my email account on my laptop.

Is there any way to have the reply come back to the original sending email address (not to my phone phone #) since that was the origination point? (and note I do not always have the iphone with me)

Thank you
Peter
