I did. But it was after I'd seen t in person for a year. She moved out of state and I was paying out of pocket anyway so we changed to phone sessions. They worked well for me and we did that twice a month (sometimes weekly) for like 3 years til she moved back and we went back to in person sessions.

What worked well was she couldn't see me. That I couldn't see her seeing me. If that makes sense. Made it easier to talk.
