From another perspective, I think that most would agree that time to spend with family or time to explore personal hobbies is in the best interest of the counselor, especially for their mental health. That’s why employers give their employees time off. A healthy and happy person is a more productive person. She’s likely able to be better to you because she engages in self care.

I actually worry about my therapist. Since I’ve begun seeing him he’s not taken off hardly any time at all. I see him twice a week and it would be disruptive to me if he did but I would fully support him in doing it.
