Your Insurance
When paying for counseling out-of-pocket your privacy is protected from a 3rd party (i.e. insurance). When using insurance, your insurance company may require information about your treatment to pay a claim. Similar to a medical visit it is usually limited to a diagnosis but may go to a point of requiring some details concerning treatment planning.

Many times for insurance companies to pay for counseling they will limit the types of diagnoses that can be given, will not cover charges for marital counseling or personal growth, and may limit the duration of the treatment (i.e. only allowing a certain number of sessions and/or limiting the length of a session).
