I don't call the therapist anything in person. There are only two people in the office and I am clear on who is who. The therapist in the OP at least does not assume familiarity while expecting formal address towards them. If it bothered me enough, I would find another.

One of the doctors I work with addresses all his patients by Mr or Ms last name for this reason. He feels if patients call Dr. he should be formal with their name as well unless the patient requests otherwise.
