No, I'm not in therapy. I've tried it on and off before and not really found it useful. Because either the therapist was just interested in chatting and not giving any sort of useful feedback OR they focus on minor, but easily identifiable issues that aren't necessarily why I was seeking out therapy.

I think for me, it just doesn't really work because I don't have one specific, obvious issue. I've known people who have been helped by therapy, but they had one very specific, glaring, obvious problem. One person I know was having near daily panic attacks. Another person I know was assaulted. Another person I know was having hallucinations. So these are all readily identifiable, singular, obvious issues.

I don't have anything like that and often don't even know what to say or what to bring up. It understandably makes it difficult for therapists to figure out what to do, and makes the whole thing just not overly beneficial.
