The short answer to your question is an emphatic YES. I am an outgoing person with friends and supportive family. I had people to listen, but that wasn't enough. My T helped to save my life. For me, I had to find the right T. She and I have great chemistry/really click; she's intuitive, intelligent, empathic, and appropriately challenges me. Also, I do not hold back from her. I have told her everything and left no stones unturned. I am honest in everything I tell her. Finally, and most importantly, I do my homework. I make/have made big changes in my life as a result of my discussions and her suggestions. I read the books she suggests and do my assignments. In the end, I realized that an excellent therapist is the best catalyst, but a T can only help you as much as you let her and as much as you help yourself.

Because of therapy and my T, I am a completely different and better person than I have ever been. I went from attempts and suicidal to being full of joy in a year because of my T. I've now been seeing her for over 1.5 years, and it is beyond worth every dime and minute...! I've worked through and discussed my past issues and work through/am working through my present issues and things that I want to work on still.
