Would that be a normal/good fourth session, you think?

I think it would be a GREAT start.
But seriously... what i actually suggest is that you go in with an open mind and be prepared to do the work. Speak to her about what is most pressing at the moment, what is hurting you the most, what do you need to share the most in that moment?
You do just have an hour, so you will need to prioritize. And Yes, if you want another session, ask! Tell her you're feeling really overwhelmed and would like another session if she's free.
