Capitalist psychology tends towards being exploitative self help style thought mixed with systemic victim blaming.
Psychological therapy is one of those fields that's useful, but it's implemented in an alienated and atomized way, like you're going to a confessional and telling a priest adorned in gold and silk about how you can barely afford to eat while they tell you to devote more of your life to God/some higher power that knows more than you.
I think group stuff is at least more in the right direction where the role of the therapist is to mediate a discussion of shared trauma or struggle. A situation that allows for you to meet and form relationships with other people instead of just listening to someone over the phone tell you to think better.
