^^^Thank you for the link. I read it. I also read a link from off of it. No where could I find info about seeing a therapist weekly.

Your Relationship With Your Doctor
Social Security gives more weight to the opinion of a doctor who has treated you regularly for a long period of time, called a treating physician or doctor. You must show that you have an “ongoing treatment relationship” with a doctor for Social Security to consider that person to be your treating physician. An ongoing treatment relationship means that you have seen the doctor with a frequency that is consistent with the accepted practice for patients with your condition. For example, if you only see your neurologist twice a year for treatment of your MS, Social Security will still consider them to be your treating physician if it is common for patients with MS to be seen by a neurologist twice a year.

Is it preferable to be at Step 5, rather than be denied at an earlier step? Sure, but Step 5 is by far the most complicated Step. SS routinely determines claimants can not perform prior work, but can perform other work. If you read the link I provided, it will explain some of it.
