I don't think she's gotten them to open up in a unique way - it sounds like she's bringing work home by treating her partners like a patient.
I would also say that the subset of men who are "casually dating a late 40s woman" is far more likely to have a shitty life than average. They're by definition single/not in an LTR and likely in their mid 40s to early 60s, probably have an ex wife and kids with varying amounts of stress, probably some other issues, etc.
I don't think noting guys have mental health issues and trouble opening up is bringing work home with her. That seems like a big jump, but maybe I'm missing something.
