Doesn't it also happen in the opposite direction? The depressed person suddenly saying "I don't want to talk about it anymore" exactly at the moment you feel there might be a solution for them? Maybe the commitment for N sessions should be for both sides.
I don't think that it's helpful when a depressed person feels like they are forced by a commitment to have the conversation.
