Sending messages on a macbook when you have multiple AppleIDs on one profile.

If I use a work computer with a work Apple ID, is there a way I can still use my personal Apple ID on this computer, and send SMS or iMessages through an online portal?

Try going to Messages/Preferences/Accounts and click the + sign at the bottom left to add your personal Apple ID. Once you have created the account, select it to make sure it is enabled in the right panel. In order to make things easy, you may have to go to Preferences and disable the account you don't want to use when you want to send messages from the other account.
