I've never had a therapist say that to me. I've had therapists say call me if you need to, but I've always prided myself on being independent and strong and taken the words "need to" to mean if I'm in a crisis of some sort. That seems so strange to me and I wouldn't know how to take it if a therapist did say that to me, or insisted that I call, even when I was having suicidal ideation. I've never been actively suicidal, but I have and do fantasize about it occasionally, but always manage to just keep going.
I'd probably leave a therapist that said that to me, for fear that he was trying to hit on me or something odd. It is reassuring though, and nice - on one hand I wish I had someone that would say that to me, but on the other hand, I wouldn't know how to take it.
