One thing I learned is that just because a person has letters after their name doesn’t mean they are able to use that title in a productive way. People can have law degrees but be horrible lawyers. Plus, there are many different kinds of lawyers. A real estate lawyer is not a criminal attorney or a tax attorney for example. There are people who manage to pass the bar but fail miserably at practicing law. But “maybe” that person can teach on some low level, maybe. Sounds like this individual is just able to practice being a BS artist.

A good grief counselor is someone who can sit and listen in a respectful nonjudgmental manner while the patient slowly sorts out their personal sense of loss.
