My therapist has her own practice. That makes a HUGE different. She only works part time, so she does not have as many clients as someone who works full time. She also does this as part of a 'ministry' with our church organization.

Email was really sticky in the beginning. I had all of the extreme anxiety waiting on a response. Yes, I did read more into her 'words' than she actually meant. It was heck to get to the place we are now.

I email 2-4 times a week. We chat quite often through email. Then again, that is because I am the only client who emails her (other than to talk about appointments). I would be terribly jealous if I found out another client started emails!

You are not that strange or weird about your insecurity with emailing between you and your therapist. I would say that the majority do not email between sessions. At least if they do, they don't always get an in depth response.
