Insurance won't cover therapist sessions over Skype/phone. Have a great rapport with him, so don't want to make a change. And yet, I've been Sunday-Friday travel all year. Any ideas, fish fam?

I wish ours would cover it, I feel like a virtual counselor is something that would work for me.

Ask therapist for cash payment discount. If you have a good relationship established, might be worth the investment to pay out of pocket then starting over with someone new

OP, are you working with a true therapist? If so why would insurance care?

There are some insurances that haven’t figured out how to process virtual visits, whether mental health or telemedicine. It’s very unfortunate as there are certain instances, such as OP’s, where this type of interaction is perfectly suitable

It’s frustrating because my mom already told them the daily budget repeatedly. I’ll go bankrupt at that rate. However, it’s not like I can take my card back since I don’t want them to starve…
