In the US, I think it's more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.
Personally, I'm not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it's much less awkward to just charge after imo
US checking in, of the 5 or 6 therapists I've had and the similar number my ex spouse has had, I think only one charged before a session. There's a couple I'm not sure on because it was covered entirely by insurance and we were never directly billed so can't say the timing
