It depends on what you'd mean by count on him. There have been times when it wasn't feasible to count on him, such as when we were both dealing with Katrina fallout.
Other than that, then yes, my therapist does tend to offer more than he can realistically deliver. But he does mean it at the moment, and he does care. Well, he really does mean it all the time. But realistically, if I call when he has a full day, and is cramming return calls between sessions or while he's hurriedly eating lunch or with his family, he's going to sound rushed and harried because he *is* rushed and harried.
The spirit is willing but the time management is weak. Or something like that.
But he does his very best to be there for me.
