-How do I explain my reasons for being in therapy when I don't really even know where to begin?
-What happens if I go the first time, and let's say a couple of times after and I don't let's say feel like I get along with the therapist or I feel kind of akward putting my trust in that person? Can I get a new therapist or will I have to keep the same person?
-How do they determine how long and often sessions should be? Some people have one hour sessions while others have other times and some people have them once a week, twice a week or every other week.
I'm just curious, is it wrong of me to have so many questions?

Sorry if this is sort of the wrong thread for this.

1, no they do not. they can if you would like them to. The therapists usually let it be your call.
2, tell them you dont know where to begin. they may help by asking questions and such. (:
3, of course you can get a new therapist. its important you connect with your therapist.
4, after seeing the severity of your depression or your situation causing you to need therapy, they'll determine what they think would be best for you.

and no, its not wrong to have questions. when i first started, i wish i had a place like this to answer my questions for me. its not as bad as you may think. itll be okay (:
