Written responses can have bad phrasing, just like oral responses. In fact, they are more prone to misinterpretation because of the inability to actually dialogue in real time.
Just tell her how you received what she said. It is good fodder for therapy discussion. It sounds like you have some fears/issues surrounding the idea of being perceived as needy that you need to work through in therapy, and this is a perfect opening to get into the subject.
