Does this matter what state you are in? I was told that in my state of NJ I have to see the doctor that the WC IC send me to. If I choose to go to any other doctor then I will have to pay out of pocket.

Yes. It absolutely matters what state you are in. Many states are employer/carrier choice of physician.

Psychiatrist recommended that I be trained in another field less demanding due to my PTSD. What does this mean?

If he does find my mental state is not suited to climb back up to heights of 100 & 200 feet to build scaffolds after a fall from only 30 ft almost took my life, maybe he's smarter than me. I think anyone with common sense would have come to that conclusion.
