It is technically possible, especially if you're doing CBT.
But if you're into psychodynamic therapy and skip the T-client relationship, you're missing out on a biggie.

Nope. Especially if the client brings it up(due to discomfort etc).

Yes, because CBT is mostly about teaching you coping mechanisms.

Well, sometimes I do, but my T doesn't let me get away with it.
