Even with laws there still may be much discretion on the part of the therapist about reporting.
I will tell you that I confessed behavior that could have been reported but wasn't; the T saw better opportunities for healing. I will not go into detail.
I think it would be fine to ask a hypothetical question to your T or prospective T. Ask about it without saying it pertains to you and see if you get an answer you feel safe with. I do believe you will get a truthful answer to a truthful inquiry and one that you can trust and move forward with.
It can be quite a turning point even though it's scary at the time.
