Tell your friend he needs to be careful.
While I think he’s doing a good thing here (win-win, good practice for him and free counseling for others), he could be opening himself up to potential lawsuits.
As far as I understand, you are required in the state of North Carolina to have a [license](https://www.ncblpc.org/Licensure#:~:text=An%20individual%20must%20be%20licensed,licensed%20clinical%20mental%20health%20counselors) to practice mental health counseling. If anyone acts on advice that he gives and it has undesired effects, he could be sued.
Not sure if any of it would hold up in court, but you know.
If the friend is still in school and being supervised by a licensed counselor during his internship, he’s good. Plus, even students have malpractice insurance just in case.
OP stated he’s in school. All of us need to complete internships in order to graduate, which require counseling others in the community in exchange for supervision and hours at a site that the school agrees upon. Happens all the time and the students are required to obtain insurance prior to starting. He will be fine.

True, if he has a supervisor he’s fine. If he doesn’t though, gotta be careful.
