Edit: so please also help me understand this- if a person doesn’t have family and friends to support, sounds like therapy won’t really help this person unless they change their living conditions, or they relapse?

Not an ELI5 answer or therapist, but my simplified experience after my relationship ended, was that my therapist pointed out my flawed thinking and tried to discovery where and how that thought process became “imprinted” in my thought processes. The awareness of the flawed thoughts and why I thought them gave me what I like to call “Pause”. It allowed me to stop and reconsider the situation and if it was logical or based on past trauma. Recognizing that it wasn’t logical and making a better decision was the foundation for “imprinting” a more rational thought process.
