I've had many Ts and few helped much. I never tried to phone inbetween sessions until the last two. The one before last was very uptight about anything beyond the hour (well, 45 minutes)-- and it was terribly uncomfortable, and strained, because at that time, I needed more concrete reassurance that someone was there.
That was a v. bad set-up: among other things, it reinforced my negative self=image of being too weak, needy etc.
My next therapist was open to calls between times. I couldn't have made it through without that--
I don't know your situation, but if it's something you need, it's legitimate. I hope you find someone who's flexible, and perhaps not so threatened by boundary issues or whatever's going on.
