I would argue that "just trying therapy" is very much not like taking an OTC painkiller. It's more like getting in a business consultant. Especially when, as in this case, you don't know what you want. Ok, not as expensive as a business consultant, since you are paying for a fraction of their time. But the incentives are similar.

It may work for some people to try it out, but I would strongly suggest deciding on advance some time limit (many therapists will resist that, which should be a red flag). It's difficult to hold to that, which is why it's good to be referred to them by another professional who can monitor progress.
