Members shared how often they attend one-on-one therapy, with answers ranging widely from three times a week to just a few times a year depending on personal needs and finances. Several members noted that cost and copays are a real barrier, with one member finding community support groups to be a helpful and more affordable alternative to traditional therapy. A recurring theme was that frequency often shifts based on life circumstances, with some increasing sessions during hard times and others going less often when feeling stable.

I don't see a therapist. I can't really afford the copays, plus I've been to therapy several times over the years and I already know what their suggestions are going to be. So I share on here and get feedback from people who also suffer from depression and anxiety. For me this is better and cheaper than therapy. Plus enough people here go to therapy and often give me tips on how to cope.

I used to go twice a month but I now go once a month. Once a month is fine with me. I get out what I need to get out. I got to the point where I didn't want to go and cancelled a couple months of appointments but my husband caught onto that and made me make an appointment and made me go. So I just go once a month now.
