But seeing as she does have a financial incentive to keep me coming back, wouldn't actually helping me in a way that would have a major impact be counterproductive to that since I would then be likely to stop seeing her?
Not really—if she is helpful to her clients then they may recommend her to friends and family, leading to her getting more clients, and she's better off in the long run.

It might be useful to talk to the therapist about your questioning her motives. But if you don't find her helpful anyway it might be better to seek a different therapist or a different methodology or something.
