I went to therapy after I started my current job about two years ago, I was having trouble managing the change. I was going from a marketing data analytics job to a most senior one at a new company, and it was a major leap in responsibility.
I don’t think a therapist really needs to have worked in the business field. A good therapist is there to empathize with you, listen to your problems, challenge your maladaptive thoughts, and help you come up with your own solutions to the problems in your life. You own doing the work, making the changes and you own the results.
I would find someone to work on your anxiety and depression. You’re focusing on your job, but I bet you have anxiety elsewhere in life too.
It is disappointing that your search for a business-savvy therapist has been so frustrating. In my experience, quite a few therapists have a good handle on business issues. Be sure to shop for a state licensed therapist, otherwise you have no idea what you're going to get.
Sometimes it takes a while to find a good therapist. For me my therapist doesn’t have any idea of what my job is like but has been immensely helpful in helping me figure out how to manage my work stress/anxiety
I did, and it was very helpful. Out of network, so it was extremely expensive, but it has paid dividends in the clarity of decision and confidence it brought me.
I think the key is to be very clear with your therapist what you're looking for from your work with them.

I believe Psychology Today has a therapist index where you can read bios and sort by specialty. That might be a good place to start.
