But therapists should maintain a degree of composure. If they can't emotionally regulate themselves, how can they expect the patient to do it?

I am not seeing where she failed to maintain composure. It sounds as if she upheld her boundaries about time, text messaging, whilst providing what emotional support she can. Her boundaries seem intolerable to you. She will be imperfect and she will not meet all your needs. Your absolutism must cause you a lot of pain and frustration.
