Isn't it used the same way in English? When you go to a therapist, you have a therapy session. When some musicians get together, they may have a jam session.

The technical meaning is very similar to the non-technical one.

I agree it's similar, though there's one difference: on many websites a session can have an arbitrary duration. If you log in to Google or Amazon once you can stay logged in on that device for months.
