I'm currently following the instructions from my insurance company about how to obtain the records I need and file everything myself. Just what I need on top of working 80 hour weeks while trying to plan a career change and preparing for the holidays!
I also sent T a text message letting her know that I will not be returning because of the financial/insurance issues, and she never responded.

This sounds like the right reaction. No response is indicative of something on her end, I think.
And on the challenges of being an academic... I know what you are talking about, I am in that world as well and have contemplated quitting and changing career multiple times driven by similar reasons. This was actually one of the main areas I wanted to address with my therapist this year. I had a good T and found it helpful. My T also started on an academic research route in his youth and changed it later, he was even in the same field I am in now. So our discussions on this were quite informed and insightful. I ended regular therapy with him already but we have an open-ended arrangement, I want to be able to have occasional meetings, right now mostly to discuss the career stuff.
Have you considered hiring someone who's more like a life coach, would that be helpful? I guess it depends what you want to discuss, the more deep emotional elements are better suited for therapy. For me, now I mostly want occasional practical discussions and an outside view on more pragmatic strategies.
