I agree that the therapist is being unskillful.

I certainly would wonder whether there was something wrong with me if my therapist had said "people your age usually have lots of friends" in response to my saying that I don't have lots of friends.

I think that the comments of @Omers above are particularly helpful in that @Omers provides an example of how a therapist could skillfully, gently, helpfully handle things.
Thanks for this!
