The correct answer is transference.
Loya has somehow managed to transfer her feelings and thoughts about her ex-boyfriend onto her therapist and started addressing him in a similar manner to how she used to address her former boyfriend. She is suffering from depression and it is difficult for her to forget the breakup and move on.
