Can a request for a chaperone, either in person or via telepsychology be denied? In this case the client was assaulted by a physician.

While I appreciate the background information, the answer to the question is still yes. However, I would not want to leave it at that without providing the rationale for my reply: it is possible that having another person present in the session, who is not even speaking, could affect the assessment and/or intervention process with the psychologist.
