I try to be available to talk about things, but something about me isn't working for her. I've gotten advice from my IC about ways I could approach her that would help her open up and have had kind of limited success. I just want to offer counseling in a way that avoids the problem my friend described, that he wanted his parents to talk to him, not some stranger.
For context, you aren't turning your back on her or ignoring her and just shipping her off to a counselor. You're giving her another outlet. As you have trouble being vulnerable, so may she.
About the H stepping up\, if someone else wrote that paragraph, what would you say?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
