Who are the "big gun" clinicians in psychotherapy practice today? Who are the ideal supervisors? (psychodynamic/interpersonal...)

Seems that the use of the title Clinician is typically used for non doctoral level psychologist.
One of my prior mental health jobs had only three MS level therapist and ten paraprofessional who called themselves clinicians. The clinicians were non degrees or licensed.
What really ticks me off is psychologists using the title of "Coaching." We need to use the title Psychologist and not use Clinician or Coaching.
Most of the Big Gun are dead or very Old!!
Psychology identity is much different now then during the developmental years. Since I am a Neuropsychologist now but worked many years as a school psychologist, Cecil Reynolds, Jack Naglieri, Alan Kaufman, Dawn Flanagan, Daniel Miller, and Peter Isquith are my Big Guns.
I proudly offer health coaching services in primary care. Not sure whats wrong with that?
Regarding MY big guns:
So here recently I applied for a job advertised for clinical psychologist. Basically my title would have been Health Coach and I would be doing telehealth health coaching allowing me to consult across stateline with physicians and patient.
I would work from home and be an independent contractor. How is it possible to be a licensed psychologist but do coaching without having any regulations?
Neuropsychologist are licensed psychologist first. My question is if you are a licensed psychologist, then why do you need to use the title of "Health Coach?"
It seems as this is primary used to get around any regulations for being also a licensed psychologist.
I am well aware. Not sure why you would not be looking for jobs in neuro psych though?
And who says that you have to use that title? If you are a psychologist, you have every right to use the title.
