I've been talking to the same therapist for years. When I started I was really depressed, then that got better. I don't remember whose idea it was to start cutting back on therapy, but I remember that I was fine with it. We had a couple of sessions where I just didn't have much to talk about. I got to about every six weeks, but recently I've had some more stress so I have increased it again. She's never pushed me to make more sessions that I want to, nor have I ever felt like she didn't want to see me.
I guess my point is that when you are ready to cut down on sessions or quit therapy, I think you'll know it. Since you don't feel that way yet, you aren't ready. Unless there are insurance restrictions, I think most therapists leave that decision up to the client. And I agree with others, once the serious depression is better, it's way easier to deal with other things. For me it was relationships.
