If you tell a therapist that you have a problem and they say you don’t, then that’s a bad therapist. Any good counselor will ask you what your goals are and help you accomplish them.
To add onto this: part of being clinically depressed is thinking you have problems that you don’t really have. Imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, and generally having a pessimistic outlook are all things my therapist helped a lot with. Some folks seem to think that all a therapist will do is blow smoke up your ass, but I’ve found a good therapist will help you calibrate your perceptions to reality.
