There is no way a heterosexual therapist can understand what gay men and women suffer psychologically.
If you're gay or lesbian seek out a gay therapist. Lesbians are particularly good at understanding gay men.

I'd like to see people get beyond the need to label their sexuality. Can't we just be sexual beings?

My attraction to men is deeper than a sexual attraction it is more romantic or another category but for the very most part it is not sexual, that does not mean I am 100% straight though.

A lot of straight men are attracted to femininity and feminine individuals I get so many straight men hitting me up on Grindr only because I’m feminine looking these men also seek out trans women - it’s complicated.
