Dealing with emotional problems with 9 yr old stepdaughter.. what is she feeling?

My husband and I have only been married for 2 yrs and have a little baby boy. My husband has 3 children from his previous marrige (7yr old girl, 9 yr old girl, 11 yr old boy) who are with us 2/7 days a week and are well adjusted.. till now. They have been going to group cousling for about 3 yrs since their parents divorce. I, a stepmom, get along with them and treat them as I do my own child. But in the last 4 months, something has changed w/ 9 yr old. She doesn't want to come over anymore and her group counslor things she has a lot of anger and needs individual counsling but thats all he will say. What can I do as a stepmom to make things better for her, more appealing to come over, not angry.. For 2 yrs we have all gotten along so well, I have taken them to school, we have shared many family traditions/vacation, etc. She tells her real mother she isn't mad at me, her baby brother, only her dad. What can I advice my husband to do, he feels so helpless? What is she feeling? They all have been such good little troopers for so long and we have made our mixed famliy as ideal as it can be and I am very thankful for that. Any ideas I can ponder will help.

    she is probably still adjusting or maybe she has problems with her mother at the other house.Try talking to her one on one or have her father talk to her.Spend time with her, maybe she feels left out.

    best of luck<3
