His response sounded honest ... that in fact he didn't know what to do next besides calling and e-mailing. Depending upon his office set-up, I suppose he could have left a note on the door saying "Went for coffee @ time, be back in 5 minutes" in case you came late (which in fact happened).
But from your perspective, I would have felt devastated arriving anxiouisly late and then No therapist in his office ... I would have reacted with shocked horror "Where's my therapist? I'm here."
This situation hasn't happened to me as I'm chronic about being "on time" and I'll call or text if I'm running more than 2 minutes late ... so when I do arrive late and push her "I'm here" button, I want her to immediately appear. Sometimes I can hear her shuffling papers or finishing a phone call and I'll think, "Hey, this is my time, get off the phone."
