hi nurse
just starting out, i think weekly is the norm so that the therapist can get a handle on things and focus on where to go. describing your symptoms as debilitating frequent visits make sense to help stabilize so you are not floundering on your own. then every two weeks when things are going ok. once a month is for when you are stable and just need check ins to keep you on track. you arent able to get much work done or support on that kind of schedule so your feelings are justified. i see my therapist twice a week due to my diagnosis and the amount of work we have to do, not because i feel i need it. i just have to work thru a lot of crap if i want to not be in therapy the rest of my life or continue to have relapse. if you have the option, seeking out a counselor who can better meet your needs might be worth looking into.
