the T is trying to figure out where your head is at right now. some people sign up for therapy, they get there and its like suddenly their head draws a blank on what their problem is and what they want to work on. the therapist has to write up the paperwork so t hey have to have an idea of where your head is at like whether you are ready to leap right in and get to work, or if you need more time getting to know the therapist, the room and any boundries / exceptions that have been discussed. are you ready to get to work on setting up treatment goals and then working on those goals. if so t he therapist and you can get down to talking about why you are there, what problems brought you to them and talk about how to fix those problems. they cant do it alone and they aren't mind readers. they cant wave Dumbledores (from harry potter movies) memory wand and using magiic withdraw those problems from your head. you need to tell them your problem and help come up with ways of how you want to fix the problems. then work on doing those things to fix it.
