In the US at least, there are typically routes to affordable therapy. Sliding scales, university-sponsorship, employer-sponsorship, and government-sponsorship for severe mental illness.
Using myself as an (admittedly very specific, not universal) example: my employer is paying my tuition, and the university has a free program. Most therapists in the 200,000-person city in which I grew up have a sliding scale that goes down to $60.00 per hour, and that's only if you're paying entirely out of pocket.
