Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A lapse in Lindsay Lohan 's health insurance -- because she 's not been working in the past year -- has prevented her from paying for the psychological counseling ordered as part of her probation , her lawyer revealed in court Thursday . `` Maybe she knows somebody who can help out , '' Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said , warning Lohan she had 21 days to sign up for counseling . Judge Sautner ordered the actress to appear in court Thursday so she could review the actress ' progress on meeting the requirements of her probation for a shoplifting conviction and two older drunk driving convictions . Lohan , 25 , entered a guilty plea in May to stealing a necklace from a Venice , California jewelry story . While Lohan is in compliance with her community service , fines and shoplifting counseling requirements , but she has not signed up for the court-ordered psychological counseling , the judge said . She could be ordered to jail unless she proves within three weeks that she has found a psychologist , Sautner said . Group counseling , which probationers attend , is often free or low-cost , but Judge Sautner agreed with Lohan 's lawyer , Shawn Holley , that Lohan 's celebrity status makes that unworkable . `` I do n't want group counseling for her , '' Sautner said . `` She needs one on one counseling . '' Lohan scribbled a note to her lawyer during the hearing saying she believed she could raise the cash soon to enter counseling . The judge chided Lohan for only completing 33 of the required 480 hours of community service so far . If it 's not finished within a year , she could go to jail , she said . Lindsay Lohan wore these shoes to court ? ! She must work 120 hours at the Los Angeles County morgue after she completes 360 hours at the a women 's center on Los Angeles ' Skid Row section . `` Get done with that community service and your life can be back in order , '' Judge Sautner said . Lohan 's legal woes , which began four years ago with two drunk driving arrests , have been compounded over the past two years by her failure to attend counseling classes and alcohol and drug test failures . The 120-day jail sentence also ordered translated into just 35 days of home confinement that ended on June 29 . Jail overcrowding rules and and state rules that give credit for good behavior for prisoners allowed for the shortened term . Her probation is scheduled to end within a year , unless Lohan is charged with breaking any laws before then . It has been extended several times because of probation violations , including failed alcohol and drug tests . Lohan failed an alcohol test administered by a probation officer in June and was ordered to go before the judge for a probation violation hearing the next week . But Lohan 's attorney convinced the judge the testing requirement had lapsed in February . Judge Saunter ruled that Lohan is now allowed to drink alcohol and she is no longer required to take random drug tests . The actress has managed to avoid more than a few days in jail despite two drunken-driving convictions , a long list of probation violations and the recent theft conviction . `` Because of budget constraints and because we 're under a federal consent decree that requires us to curb our overcrowding situation , nonviolent offenders , lesser crimes , get 20 % of their sentence , '' Los Angeles County Sheriff 's spokesman Steve Whitmore said . Lohan entered drug rehab last year to avoid a jail sentence imposed by another judge . But Sautner made it clear in court last month that she did n't think drugs and alcohol were the root of Lohan 's legal troubles . `` She 's got other problems for which she self-medicates , '' Sautner said at her sentencing in May . Lohan 's four years in and out of court -- and sometimes jail -- started with two drunken-driving arrests in 2007 . Since then , she 's spent more than eight months in substance-abuse rehabilitation programs . A probation report released in May said the actress `` appears to be continuing to struggle with substance abuse issues . '' `` It would appear that the defendant 's criminal conduct is increasing in seriousness and severity , '' the probation report said , yet it suggested she serve her sentence on probation and not in jail . Lohan tested positive for alcohol use , a violation of probation rules , in February , the report said . It also revealed that the drug test failure last August , which resulted in a jail sentence and court-ordered rehab , involved cocaine and amphetamines .
