But I know I have a lot of trauma to work through and it is now affecting my functioning. This is so hard. I don’t want to say bye to her over video.

That's really difficult... Would the new T maybe be willing to work with you for, say, a set 2-month period on a trial basis? And then you could decide if she's right for you? Or could you agree that you could still have a termination session (in person, whenever that could happen) with your current T if you decide to stick with her? Or...something like that.
Thanks for this!
