Is it OK to still feel like I have made the right decision for myself even if she sort of said the opposite? Often my T tells me that the best thing is to be around people. But sometimes I just know that I need some time by myself, even when I am depressed.

There is more to talk about with your T here.
Staying home feels safe and that is so understandable.
It can also be a defense against the risk of doing something different. The feeling good, feeling safe could be feeling good that the risk was avoided and feeling safe from the fear about being out, going away, being in different surrondings, of not being home. The feelings are real. It sounds like your therapist was thinking of the process of how the feelings begin and all of the things they are about.
