I don't see why it would be necessary to get into therapy with a 2 year old, who is capable of behaving (as evidenced by daycare).

Try to figure out what is triggering him to have the tantrums. Then figure out was he hungry, angry, lonely, tired, sick, vulnerable in any other ways?

It could be that he doesn';t know how to express that he doesn't like you to leave him, it could be so many other things.
I agree that he probably can't express it, I am trying my hardest to understand what his needs might be since he can't really communicate them yet on his own. I don't see need for a 2 year old to be in therapy either, though i am sure I should be, especially since I have an irrational fear of messing my son up, and that I'm not a good enough of a parent for him.
