See someone out

Dan takes a seat in the waiting area. A few moments later Lisa appears at the end of a small hallway, seeing a client of hers out.

(We're at a therapist's office. Lisa is a therapist.)

Is 'seeing someone out' perfect here to mean that she follows the client, who's about to leave, to the door? Is there a more used expression than that? Thanks.

anonymous Is 'seeing someone out' perfect here to mean ...? Nothing is perfect, but that's the best expression for what you're saying. Personally, I'd omit "of hers" because it's easily inferred, but there's nothing wrong with it.
