I mean this is what I think that if I can't handle someone crying it must be that I lack empathy.

It must be claim. Tension regarding crying could come from your childhood, for example, rather than from a lack of empathy. I have had that experience myself: the mention of crying made me feel anxious because I myself cried a lot as a child and received a lot of grief for it.

Yes, the plunge looks very promising for you. Difficult, but promising.
When you start going to therapy, be sure to let the T know your reasons for being reluctant.
