You're full of **** and you just don't know it.
EVERY healthcare provider has to make a call confirming coverage and the extent of services authorized. If you policy has no limits on mental health then you're in luck!
But that call was still made and that authorization still given, no matter what you may think.
What you don't know about what goes on behind the scenes in a practice... what happens when they photocopy your insurance card... would fill a very large book. If you think it's a "magical" process, well then you're "magically thinking."

No, my therapists do not call for authorization...no matter what you might think. As amazing (or magical) as it might sound, my therapists and I (I see two and they are both covered) communicate so I know exactly what occurs re:insurance...and of course they copy my card so they can file and therefore get paid. That part seems rather obvious. Verifying coverage is not the same as getting authorization, btw...I personally called over 5 years ago and verified my copay. It's unfortunate my answer is so difficult for you. However, it's the truth. I have nothing else to add here.
