I know, logically, the right thing to do is just be upfront, but therapy and relationships, and specifically therapeutic relationships, are rarely logical, eh?

Sure, therapeutic relationships are weird, illogical, and all over the place. What concerns me is that the situation already has you kind of dependent on this woman and seeking her approval. It may not be her fault, but it's clearly causing you problems, and if she does take you on you're already in a pattern of pleasing her instead of looking to help yourself.
