I don't think you have to lie. As others have said, this is actually standard procedure for meeting your therapist out in the world. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to acknowledge the therapist. The therapist follows your lead. In many, if not most, group therapy situations, the group members agree not to acknowledge one another in public unless they've agreed in advance that it's OK. Really, you've done nothing wrong or rude, and you shouldn't worry! But I agree it would be good to talk to the therapist about your feelings surrounding this event.
