It sounds like you've taken the first step and sought professional help. The only thing I've ever found that helps burnout is two things:
1. Remove yourself from the environment is causing the burnout.
2. Find fulfilling activities that do not come from your employment in the IT industry.
"I'm hesitant because I don't have many hobbies (if any) and in the middle of the pandemic there isn't much to do anyway"
That's the burnout speaking. I suspect you might feel the same way even if the pandemic was completely over. Getting yourself on the path to recovery will help with this, and you'll be amazed at all the hobbies you can do (even in a pandemic) that sound interesting and worthwhile.
Best of luck, I hope you're able to get into a situation that allow you to recover and find some satisfaction in your current career in the future.
