Has that been the case with anyone else on here.

First off, if your T stopped seeing you for googling her, it's not a legitimate reason for termination. She has to know what information about her is publicly available and she has to be able to respond to inquiries appropriately. Googling someone is not illegal and if the info about someone is available online, it's not your fault.
As far as whether I regret googling my therapists or anyone for that matter, the answer is no. Why would I and why should I? I think, when you decide to google someone, you have to be willing to accept whatever you will find whether you like it or not. If you decided to go ahead and google anyway, you shoul've considered the potential negative impact of the search results.
Googling any service povider is not a bad idea because you may find the reviews their former clients wrote about them, and while not all reviews are trustworthy, they can still provide some important information you may want to consider.
