I need to be independent, too. I've seen my therapist for 14 months and in that time I only called her once between sessions. I was having a complete emotional meltdown. It was the day before my weekly appointment and afterwards I felt bad that I couldn't keep myself together for 24 hours.
She told me she had no problem with me calling her and that is what she is there for. If I need support I should call her, don't hold out until I see her.
I think dependency is something that therapists are "there for" too. Though I wonder how much dependence turns you into a therapy junkie? Then again there are worse addictions.
