That's unfortunate that is how your univ offers counseling. I was able, when I was in college to utilize a free, sixteen session service, no recommendations necessary.
Perhaps some self help reads, of your own, depending on what brings you to have interest or others, that suggested it. I haven't read you other posts, to understand what brought that up.
Hesitancy or feeling a sense of obligation towards therapy could hinder progress.
Best of Luck, in your search for affordable therapy.
