Usually you need a court order to act in loco parentis.

I can only speak from the mental health side of things, but a parent has a right to not only sit in on every one of their child’s counseling sessions (good luck getting the kid to open up then though, heh), but also to request the counselor’s case notes for any session they didn’t attend
However
A counselor can choose to redact any information which might cause psychological or physical harm to the child. An example of this would be a child’s sexuality, if the kid has conveyed that the parent does not support that sexuality and would likely have some sort of response emotionally damaging to the child. Redacted information would be crossed out with a black bar
A counselor cannot redact information which are threats of harm the child said, those have to be immediately communicated to the parent
