I can understand why you would worry about it being insulting, especially after you have worked with her before at a different fee. Please keep in mind, however, that many T's do see a certain number of clients at a very low or even for now fee. It's part of professional service to do this. So she may have room in her caseload at this time to offer this to you.
Try to separate out the emotional meaning attached to money from the business transaction you need in order to keep coming to therapy. You too can talk about any feelings arise in your phone sessions, but please don't let this stop you from continuing your therapy--not if she is willing to continue.
But I do understand. I get so twisted up about money, too.
Take care and good luck. I hope it works out.
