The easiest method is probably to get your insurance to direct you to therapists that accept your plan instead of vice versa. That’s what I always did.

Ah, yeah, and this highlights another issue. Therapists are in short supply in most of the country. If you’re in a major city, you’ll have a lot of options, but in a 2nd or 3rd tier city you will have limited options, at least in my area.
