Finding people you can trust is hard. That's actually one of my first goals with any client. To establish working relationship based on trust. Basically... I tell them I work best when they trust me. I do make myself available and do communicate with clients promptly, and usually the same day. But I prefer when the client gives me what I ask for and let's me do my job. That's what I'm paid to do. I also explain how that saves them on billing. I've seen hourlies explode where a client micromanages me, and I usually end up kicking those clients to the curb. They're not worth the money.
