Yes! A number of times. It always made me feel warmed. We've never had a discussion about it. But most of us struggle with a sense of whether we are "just a job" for our therapists, or if their hearts are 'in' it. When my therapist has said something that let me know that she thought about me during the week, away from session, it let me know that she carries me in her heart - at least in a small way. You can pay a therapist for their time, but there is no way to "buy" their care. If she's thinking about me outside of session, that tells me she cares.
