Let her come play with me at Camp Comfort.
I picked up some rocks when I was walking my dogs, and I'm trying to build a stone wall with them. So I can sit on it to wait for my therapist to come back. But I have to figure out some kind of "cement" because I'm not very good at building a stone wall. Maybe I'll make some clay and use that.
What would make little muffy feel safe? Would she like a teddy bear? Or to hide in a blanket fort? Or maybe you could think of something that would be fun - sort of a distraction. Would she feel better if she could cross the days off on the calendar until your therapist comes back? You can tell her that you don't need to deal with the stuff inside until your therapist comes back. You can put that stuff away in a strong box until she comes back. You don't have to do hard therapy work while she's away - you sort of get a therapy vacation. (Like how I'm going to sit on the wall, and wait for my therapist. When he comes back, then I'll get up and start walking again.)
Let her eat some ice cream. That always makes me feel better.
