I think people over think this stuff. Just react as you would to any other person but keep in mind she is not a friend but a paid professional there to help you. My therapist shares personal things all the time. She can do so because I recognize her as a normal person with successes and failures. I don't put her on a pedestal. I would hate a therapist that is a blank slate. If they can't be real with me then I won't feel comfortable discussing issues with them. I am not paying them to waste my time. I can get someone stuck up and distant for free anywhere!
