Interesting.
What does she do (since she doesn't do school)? Does she see/chat with friends? Does she have activities? Does she have a job.
How does she do in school (grades, social/friends)? Is it possible, since this has been an issue since she was tiny that there's something that's causing the problem? You hear about kids with dyslexia hating school or maybe autism/aspergers causing issues.
To me it seems like you either need to make it painful (punishment, no internet, no cell phone, no money, no TV, whatever). Or maybe there's an underlying cause, and you need to figure out the cause (which I guess has been the point of the counselors).
Unfortunately, I don't have any answers, but I feel for you. Our kids are in their 30s. One was pretty much a breeze, the other was trying/difficult. At times, we weren't sure that one would make it to being a productive adult, but fortunately, that's not an issue.
