It is important for clinicians to maintain boundaries and professionalism in their relationships with clients. While it may be tempting to socialize with clients outside of therapy sessions, it is generally not appropriate or ethical to do so. Additionally, suggesting that Carolina can write to her clinician is a good compromise that still allows for some form of communication and support.
