You don't have to act in any particular way, but in this early stage, both you and the therapist are trying each other out. It's natural to be nervous, especially if you haven't been in therapy before.
I'd advise giving it at least two more sessions to decide if you feel comfortable around her. If there are any glaring issues, move on. Otherwise, it takes time to build up a relationship with a therapist and you don't have to trust her right away, no matter her degrees or experience. She works for you, you are her client, and getting the best treatment you can is the ultimate goal.
Good luck in the following appointments and your recovery :).
