Others prefer to keep regular work hours to perhaps match the hours of their spouse or families. It sounds like there are a number of therapists who do have alternate hours available, and you have to look to find one that works well for your own schedule. I don't find a choice to keep regular work hours "obnoxious" though, just a business preference.

It is obnoxious sorry. Most people work during the day. Unless you work from home or are retired or a stay at home parent, how can you even come to a session at 2pm in the afternoon? It's ridiculous. And yet most therapists can't seem to fathom how you can't just drop everything and leave work at 2pm just to go for a session. It shows they have no idea what it's like to have a regular job. If you decide to become a therapist, you have to work hours that are convenient for your clients. If you don't want that, well don't become a therapist. I see this attitude all the time and it strikes me as incredibly selfish and clueless.
