From this page. On a computer, the contact card beside the profile has their number where they list one, a way to arrange a call (Book a call opens their own booking page where they have one, and Request a call lets you pick a day for them to call you) and Send a message. On a phone, the bar at the bottom of the screen has their number (or the call option) and a message button, and the other ways are under their name. A call request and a message are both free, with no obligation.
