H and I met with our marriage counselor at a coffee shop across from the office once. It was a nice change, but we also weren't discussing any big issues at the time. I know MC often meets with his teenage clients (his specialty) at the coffee shop, too. I'm guessing it's more comfortable for them there.

I feel like going for a walk, if the weather's good, could be a nice way to do a session. Especially if it was about something uncomfortable because then you wouldn't be looking at the T as much.

And I guess MC and I just essentially had an individual session on the phone today, since we had a 30-minute conversation (was supposed to be shorter) about something that was bothering me (related to my relationship with him, not my H). In some ways, it's easier to talk on the phone about certain topics, since you don't have to look the person in the eyes (good for what we were discussing in some ways). At the same time, you can only judge their reaction on their voice, so you lose part of the whole social interaction thing (less good for what we were discussing in other ways).
