This is what I did. At the time, schools were emerging from virtual learning, and my son has ADHD and high functioning autism, so I tagged along to make sure he didn’t miss anything.

He’s in college now and I’m very hands-off. But as a senior in high school, he was overwhelmed and needed a lot of support.[/quote]

Me again. This was for the only face-to-face meeting he had with his counselor, due to a school switch and the pandemic: he had an appointment in August before the start of 12th grade, so I went too. The counselor was trying to catch all the kids she hadn't seen before senior year started, and it was to make sure he had a list of colleges, or failing that, to give him a list, and to get to know him a tiny bit to write the letter of recommendation.

If you have specific concerns, OP, I suggest you write to the counselor, asking for an appointment with yourself and your child. The intense flurry of letters of recommendations has passed already (it was in Sept-Nov), and even though they're always busy, meeting with students and families is part of their job description!
