There are many recognized benefits to bypassing insurance.  In order for insurance to approve coverage of psychotherapy, the service must be deemed medically necessary, meaning that there must be a diagnosis.  The insurance company decides which therapeutic interventions are eligible for coverage.  While this is certainly beneficial for those seeking therapeutic services to address a diagnosable mental illness, it can limit the use of other modalities that could support growth and healing.  Not everyone who seeks therapy has a diagnosable mental illness.  In fact, many people who seek therapy are looking for growth, to maximize their sense of wellbeing, and for support navigating life changes.  Utilizing out of network benefits can ensure increased privacy and flexibility in modality for those who might want to explore alternative treatments and/or do not want their insurance company to have access to their diagnosis and medical record.
