Welcome to PC.

I think what you are going through is extremely common. For the most part we only see or hear the good stuff. Both my Ts have had very little online presence. They do tell me things though.

My previous therapist was a front about even the hardships in her life (when appropriate over 10 years).

Current T though seems to have the perfect life...lots of traveling, private practice that is always close to full, house near the ocean, physically very fit, along with other things.. What I have to remind myself is she suffers from anxiety as well. She was in her late 30's before getting married. She didnt intend to wIt so long but had her heart broken multiple times, had her child later in life and has less energy than I'd she were younger. etc. She seems to have some envy that I was married in my early 20's and have been married for 25 years. I have a adult children while she has a toddler and is only 5 years younger than me.
