My first image when I read your post was of someone typing to each other while face to face. I wonder if a T would be willing to try that to see if it would work. As for the psychology of being deaf in a hearing world, I would think you could talk with one of the angencies that work with the deaf to see if tlhey can find someone to refer you to. If I were your T, I'd want to consult with someone who knows what it is like to be deaf. I suspect you might could find a T who has worked with deaf people or is willing to consult with someone to learn more about what your experience is like.
Good luck. I'd also consider telephone counseling using one of those telephone devices that puts the conversations into words.
