With one session left, I would be a open as possible about the depth of your feelings for her; I think it will help to know that she knows how real and painful your feelings are- she will understand and empathize, I am sure. When you do leave, you want to be able to feel that you are taking something of her with you. You can certainly give her a card, or you can write one after- whatever seems best. You can talk about how you would actually like to say goodbye when the moment comes. It could be a handshake, a hug, a kiss on the cheek- see what seems right after you have talked to her about it. Many therapists do like to know how their patients are doing after termination, so an occasional note might be welcome when you are no longer seeing her.
