A fair number of friends and family have gotten counseling/therapy at one point or another for various things, be that depression, coming out, anxiety or interpersonal conflict. It universally helped everyone.
Everyone should have it. It's useful to have people give you solid advice, particularly ones that have no family or friend connections to you. It allows you to have very clear-eyed discussions.
It helped me immensely when I was struggling with coming out.
