Since she specifically told you to call, I'd definitely go ahead and call. I'm sure she wouldn't want you worrying about it for another week.

I've also had the fears about being too needy or clingy, particularly with my marriage counselor, for whom I had at one point some pretty intense paternal and erotic transference. At one point, I talked about how I had been in a bad place one night and thought about calling his cell (I think my T was on vacation that week), but didn't want to bother him because I wasn't sure if it was urgent enough. He asked what I thought would happen if, say, I called him a couple nights in a row for non-urgent things. I said he'd block my number or say to stop f---ing calling him. He said he was really bothered that I thought that. He wouldn't be mad at me for calling, he'd just talk to me about more appropriate situations and times for calling. So that made me feel better.

I did have a few long phone conversations with him during the height of the transference, though they were calls to his office phone that he returned when he had time. I rarely contact him now, aside from an occasional e-mail, but it's good to know it's OK to call if I feel a need to. OK, there was the 3 a.m. text when I was on vacation in September, but he was totally fine about that too--responded very kindly the next day and, at our next session, said very clearly that he wasn't mad.
