Best Out of Network mental health benefits?

Question

As someone who has been in therapy for years, I've come to learn that the best therapists don't work with insurance companies - i.e., they are out of network. What are the out of network mental health benefits like at your company?

The process is really annoying depending on the service you use. At first I used Alma, but their network is not that robust imo. Then I just called BCBS and went through all the automated prompts and got a list of 30+ therapists based on the criteria I was looking for. I suffer from bipolar disorder and working remotely has made it VERY hard to build team synergy during covid. So much stress and anxiety over everything but I managed to find the therapist I work with now. Just had to interview a few to find a good match.

I was skeptical about mental health stuff until my wife and I decided about whether we should get a divorce. We went to couples therapy using EAP. It was a free service through our employer, not insurance. Gave us 3 or 4 sessions for free. Just called the number and they gave us a list. We picked one TOGETHER as a way to show a commitment to growth. Proved to be a good move. We researched on psychology today

Really? I've been in therapy of some kind for about 5-6 years now. All of mine were in network. If you dont mind me asking, what kind of therapy were you looking for? Was the therapists just bad?
