Is therapy worth it?

I'm struggling at the minute, not depressed but just feeling overwhelmed with a failing business (thanks Covid/Cost of living). Literally working 7 days a week, trying to stay fit and be a mum to two young kids (yes my husband is very involved, more so than me as I'm too busy). By the end of the day I'm always trying to fight back tears as I can't be fucked with another day of it and I know it's going to be like this for years trying to keep the business alive until things calm down.
Anyway, I do talk to husband/friends a little but I've always been the kind of person to hold a bit back, and I don't like to show people I'm struggling. (That's just the way I am and that won't change) So I've wondered about therapy to just get some shit off my chest and maybe I'll feel less heavy. But as I said, the business is doing so badly right now all money being spent needs to be necessary. What are your experiences?

No trauma, I honestly think I just need to talk, and to learn some coping mechanisms as quite often I spend more time procrastinating and panicking about what needs doing and if I could actually cope with the stress better I could work more efficiently. I feel like my brain is a computer with 1000 tabs open all the time

The right therapist could help with that. It is really hard when there is a lot of stress.
