But that's not treatment, that's just talking philosophy. What makes it therapeutic?

So let's say part of my anxiety is related to dying, to disappearing, to losing my loved ones, etc. What can a philosopher offer me? Not certainty, of course. Perhaps just mention different possibilities, different philosophical views on life after death? But I could just read them in a book. And I'm not sure they would necessarily make me feel better or more hopeful.
Thanks for this!
