The therapist could be there for me by explaining answers to what I ask.

Well, that's how I treat mine too. As a font of wisdom and answers to my millions of questions. By answering my questions, she is showing she cares about my inquisitiveness and fixing my confusion. If she said, "I don't want to answer your questions," then that would be a display of not-caring.
Caring to me is important in therapy. If a therapist can't show caring towards their client by being responsive to them in the way they desire, the client would be better off with a computer. A computer can answer questions too, you know.
There must be some reason why you have sought out a person versus a computer, stopdog.
