First of all, let me make a comparison between how a therapist would benefit a person vs a chiropractor. Both are beneficial, but not needed for the average person.
The session will temporarily make you feel better, but you will still feel shitty and depressed most of the time. Just like how your joints will feel good when the chiropractor is done, you will go back to feeling shitty pretty quickly because the relief is only temporary.
Talking about your problems will make anyone feel better, but when I'm talking to my therapist I feel like I'm talking to chatgpt. Good, but basic/automatic responses that are very predictable.
People (usually normies) who preach therapy often say that its benefits are undisputed. The reality is, that just like chiropractics, few people genuinely need them and their effectiveness is disputed at best for the average person. Someone with a nasty back and severe neck pain can be compared to someone with serious trauma or PTSD because such cases are rare among the general public, but these are the ones that would genuinely warrant professional help. Additionally, most people agree that therapists can help anyone (which is true). Still, chiropractics can also relieve tightness in your neck/back for any person and improve mobility in people who already have no issues with it. However, unless you have some pretty bad bone, joint, or muscle problems, most people wouldn't consider seeing a chiropractor as an essential task for his/her health.
Therapy should be viewed in the same fashion. Unless you have trauma, ptsd, an eating disorder, or you are in a very complex situation then you don't really need therapy. Just like a chiropractor, it greatly benefits a small percentage of people and may provide some helpful, but not necessary benefits for the majority, and for many, it would be just a waste of money and time.
Secondly, your average incel (sub-5, very basic personality, nothing interesting going on in his life, no complex emotional problems) would not benefit from therapy. Your average therapy-goer nowadays is someone with "depression" or "anxiety". Which is simply the result of non-conformity behaviours relating to social norms.
This post does a great job explaining this concept so I don't have much to add. In an incels case, these non-conformity behaviours are incurable. An incel cannot conform to society, even the average man has trouble with this.
People who receive therapy and say it helps (excluding people with severe problems) often fit the social standard of acceptability which cures their "mental illness".
