The easiest method is probably to get your insurance to direct you to therapists that accept your plan instead of vice versa. That's what I always did.
Ah, yeah, and this highlights another issue. Therapists are in short supply in most of the country. If you're in a major city, you'll have a lot of options, but in a 2nd or 3rd tier city you will have limited options, at least in my area.
Is telehealth permitted for therapists in your state? My state made it easier during the pandemic so I'm able to see a trans-specialized therapist whose office is an hour drive away.
