I went once a week to a CBT therapist for quite a while. I felt like I spent a lot of energy trying to get through the week until the next appointment.
I switched to twice a week with a Psychodynamic therapist. I think I am LESS dependent on him than I was on my first therapist (because I'm not pining to see him for as many days??). He's less interested in the day to day stuff, so we go into more depth. That seems OK because I know I'll see him soon if something comes up. I am doing much better now that with my first therapist, but I really can't say if that is because of the frequency, or the orientation change, or just because she wasn't dealing with my transference.
You could try twice a week and see how it goes. If it doesn't work better for you, then go back to once a week.
