The subject of the sentence would be the counselor?

Why use the subjective case then?

No, the overall subject of the sentence is "I."

However you have a dependent clause, "who talked to the principal." The subject of that clause is is the counselor, and "who" is used for the subject.

Did you mean a subject for each clause? Yes, by definition, a clause will have a subject and a verb.
