I am a lesbian, but I really haven't experienced any sexual feelings for my therapist. But I don't think you're feeling all that different from any other client who has these feelings for her therapist, male or female.
Why not talk about it with your therapist? That seems like the most sure-fire way to defuse the feelings - get them out in the open. My therapist always says that uncomfortable feelings are like mushrooms, they grow in the dark. When you expose them to light, get them out in the open, they die away. And she hasn't been wrong yet!
Hopefully your therapist is well-trained and experienced enough to work with you through your feelings. Seriously, I have found out rather recently that the very best thing you can do in therapy is ALWAYS talk about the thing you LEAST want to talk about. If something is troubling you, you need to get it out and who better to hear it than a non-judgemental person who has your best interests in mind? The only way past it is through it, ya know?
Good luck. :)
