No, it's not normal in the professional situation.

It doesn't matter what you do with this. Whatever you do or don't do doesn't change the fact that she is being unprofessional with you.

No need to make a case for why you shouldn't report her. No one is suggesting to report her. I don't care if you report her or not. Your original question was if her behavior was normal, and I am just answering your question - no, it's not normal a.k.a not professional in the professional relationship.

I am not sure what it means to be the "lovey-dovey" therapist. What I do know is that your t is behaving unprofessionally.

Whether you have transference or not is irrelevant because you have reported facts. You didn't make up her compliments of your looks, kisses and winks in her texts and physical touches after each sessions. Those are real facts, not transference.
If you like her and want to continue to see her, that's fine, it's your choice. Just be honest with yourself and keep seeing her fully knowing that she is acting unprofessionally. As long as you are honest with yourself you can do what you want. I stayed with some Ts who behaved unprofessionally being fully aware of what they were doing simply because under my particular circumstances it seemed like a better option among other options I had.
