Some people probably are and some are not. The second one I hired gave out her cell phone number and told clients to call anytime -but that she might not call back until the next day. I called a couple of times to see if it would help, and it did not, so I didn't do it anymore. I think therapists are like any other professional - a client can call or write and the professional will respond within a reasonable period of time. I never enjoyed talking to a therapist so calling or texting with them as a back and forth held no allure for me. Others are different. Therapists set the game up so that people get sucked in - I don't think anyone need worry about a therapist.
