I would say you should try to explain your concerns to your T. Tell her you need goals and that you feel like you are not moving forward or making progress with the current methodology of the therapy. If after that you continue to find there is no structure, goals, or progress, you should consider finding a new T. I wouldn't let things carry on like this for much longer because you deserve to get the help and support you need.
My T gives me therapy homework that is focused in some way on what we addressed or talked about in that session. If she doesn't give me homework, I ask for it because I know that the whole point of therapy is to help a person become their best self. Our sessions are also structured in that I fill out a feelings inventory at the beginning and end of the session as well as answer evaluative questions about the T session and my T. I like this structure because it helps me to figure out what I am feeling--something that is hard for me to do because I internalize most of my feelings. All T's use different methods and it could be that your T's methods just don't work for you and that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.
