LG,
I talk to my Therapist alot on the phone. Occasionally he has called me using his cell phone and it isn't all that quiet. Because I have three boys and work with little kids, I barely notice background noise. However, I did ask him if he was in a place to talk where he wouldn't be overheard. (he was) I wonder if this isn't part of your concern? It it doesn't feel private enough.
I think if you are uncomfortable you may have to accept limits to the phone contact. It is a hard choice to make, but something that bothers you this much probably isn't helping you.

p/s - when I have important phone calls to take/make, especially to a distressed parent of the kids I work with, I often sit in my car in the drive way. And lock the doors.
