Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

I referred a friend to a counselor, but the therapist is very boring(she says). The therapist does very little talking, and add to the conversation as needs or she feels. She (the therapist) rarely ask questions. The check is however deposited either that day or the very next day. At the end of the session-the conversation ends and nothing else is said and i mean nothing. Even if you comment that it is a nice day, she says nothing. This is ok because we understand that business is business. Also, I do believe there is a form of therapy where the client just says everything and the counselor feeds off of that. In this case, the woman says nothing and the client say nothing and it get to a point where they are just looking at each other. Eventually the client just makes up anything-it could be about a shoe. And yes of course, the therapist says “what is it about a shoe”.
let me add, there is no drugs, alcohol or any abusive situation. She just felt that she should talk to someone regarding a health (cardio) issue-which rarely comes up in any conversation. How do you get out of this and discontinue the service.
