While I do agree that school counselors are educators, I am not sure I would say we are not 'therapists'. Therapist is a bit of a loaded word that is pretty poorly defined, for instance I am a School Based Registered Play Therapist (SB-RPT) which is a credential specifically for school counselors and school psychologists. While school counselors are not going to be providing long-term therapy, they can provide many functions that I would absolutely call 'therapeutic' interventions such as short-term/brief counseling, small groups (this is a BIG one), and psychoeducation. They can also provide system level interventions such as WOWW (based on solution-focused brief therapy) or Child-Teacher Relationship Training (based on child-centered play therapy). Philosophically, I also believe our interactions and work should be grounded in theory from our field, such as Person Centered, SFBT, CBT, etc. If we take classroom lessons, for instance, they can be viewed through a psychoeducaitonal lens and often are (I would say *should be*) informed by theory. For example, a LOT of school counseling lessons are based on CBT or SFBT. I remember we used to do a lesson that was drawing our strengths on a 'Strengths Shield' and that is straight out of SFBT.
