You AND the school are 100% wrong. It is none of the schools business what someone does AFTER they get thier degree.
A ciriculum is established. The student met all the requirements to get that degree.
With this lack of professionalism, she will not earn her credentials.
She has not met her requirements.

I have friends that have degrees in Medicine and do not practice.
This still a free country. You can earn a degree in any field you choose AND you can get a job in any place you choose.
You earn a degree.
If she doesn't meet the criteria, she will not earn her degree.

"pushing her beliefs on others". Don't you think that is exactly what the school is doing to her. Believe as we do. We do not accept any other view.
No, I think the school is trying to ensure that all of the students they certify as passing their curriculum to be cousellors will abide by the code of ethics of the professional Counselling Association. She can "believe" anything she wants to.

Compared to San Francisco, Portland, or Austin it's not a liberal bastion, but it's kinda liberal for a mid-size southern city...
Augusta has a 42 year-old very progressive mayor, the most influential mayor in the state of GA in 2010. He was voted #18 on the top 100 most influential georgians, the next highest mayors were Otis Williams of Savannah #45, and Atlanta's mayor Kasim Reed #75. Georgia Trend
The city of Augusta had a Tea Party and gay parade and festival downtown. Three times as many people attended the gay festival compared to the tea party downtown...

Judging professionalism is the role of accrediting bodies, like the bar association or in this case the National Board for Certified Counselors.
The criteria is successful completion of the class work. Her professional views are a matter of the accrediting bodies.
I know you love me dearly, as I you...
For teaching/classwork credentials, one must pass not only classwork, but must be recommended by the school. At least, that's what was required when I got my teaching certification decades ago.
I know of two cases where potential counselors were refused their accreditation for failing their internships in the drug & alcohol counseling field.
One specifically for inserting their stories and beliefs into counseling sessions.
Doesn't classwork include internships where you're observed in the field and graded against certain standards?

Freud and Jung should be eradicated from the college as well. If a person is deemed unacceptable to receive their degree earned, based on personal beliefs, then, that measure should have started with them, all those years ago.
Psychology is not an exact science. It is based on the study if human behavior and theory is based on the conscience and subconscious processed by a person's mind and in the results that are seen.
She should go to the gay pride parade imho, and observe as part of a clinical assignment. This behavior does exist and as a counselor, she will need to consult, those individuals. Exposure to this behavior is not an indoctrination, but a learning so as to understand, so as to be more productive in the person's career choice.
I wonder which she would accept on a settlement - All tuition returned, or a diploma.
