maybe she knows her issues are getting worse and she is wanting to prevent herself from crashing. i am not saying that you don't know your child, but teens have a knack for keeping the severity of issues somewhat hidden. being one myself i can attest to that myself.
when i was in seventh grade, i knew there was something wrong with my head, so i tried to convince my mom to sign me up with the school health system...which i knew included therapy. but she thought it was useless. that led me to attempt suicide instead of preventing it from getting that bad.
it is amazingly good that she is willing to bring up treatment options for her, so please consider her request.
P.S. i applaud you for letting your daughter be in therapy.
