Just in case you're referring to my comment -- I didn't intend to imply that she was abandoning, ending etc.
From what I understand, most Ts change their stuff rather gradually -- so, even something like a change in the office decor or session slot is undertaken with a sort of gradual stepping-in. I don't think that has anything to do with the client or their needs but rather just how most therapists are taught / learn to do stuff.
And, when it's rather inevitable that things have to happen suddenly, they offer other stuff to make the transition smoother -- again, my understanding is that it's little to do with an individual client's needs but rather a sort of therapy by the book formula.
It's possible that I'm of course mistaken and this isn't something that T's necessarily follow.
