It's standard social and business protocol to address someone by name when greeting them, or when saying goodbye, at least some of the time. Especially in a relationship where trust and openness are expected.

Most of the therapists I saw did this rarely or never.

The one I saw the longest and with whom I shared the most intimacies rarely ever said my name.

In my experience, therapists tend to be socially inept, and their training and countless hours of clinical isolation have turned them into hopeless weirdos.
