I have had to pay for therapy out of pocket, and it's increasingly common for therapists to not accept insurance. There is a higher demand for therapy than a supply of therapists to meet that demand (esp. since the pandemic, but even before then), so many therapists realized they can just operate a practice without the hassle of dealing with insurance.
