I usually do 1x but sometimes I falter and I get an extra crisis session. Sometimes I have a hard time getting thru the week until my next scheduled session.

Gosh, not to sound jaded here but I believe that the amount of attendance a person seeks out of a counselor is totally dependent on what's going on in the person's life and is the decision of the person.
I don't think it's indicative of a person's mental state how often they attend. I do think that some counselors are looking for the extra $$ if they recommend weekly sessions. It really all needs to be decided by the individual and NOT the counselor.
I've been in and out of counseling since I was 16 years old. Now that I'm 48, I've learned a thing or two about how dependable they can be, and if their professional enough to trust. Some are real idiots.
