Punctuation is usually optional in ruby when this doesn't introduce
ambiguities.

You can't. The reason why the methods in SessionsHelper can be used in
the view is that (by default) all the helpers in app/helpers are
included in views.
When you add the method directly to the controller then this no longer
holds and so the view can't find the method
