It's your therapy; she should be open to talking about what you want to talk about.
Similarly, the only way to get more frequent sessions is to ask if that's a possibility. She can't read your mind, so she can't help if she doesn't know what you need. Does she allow email contact? That might be an easier way to bring this up if in person is too scary.

I know I need to be more direct, that's such a huge issue I have with everything but she hasn't really ever asked about anything else and we've never even mentioned anything close to self harm or suicide. She doesn't let me talk much and she really takes the lead in sessions and when she's done with it she's done with it
For a few weeks I went every week but then she moved things back to 2 weeks. Her schedule seems to be really busy and it's hard to coordinate times with my schedule.
