My priorities in your case would be: 1) Find a job/career 2) Relocate to a place you want to be

The relationship/lifestyle goals are secondary to those (maybe ultimately more important, but would require and be consequences of improvement of those two).

If your current skills aren't where they'd need to be to get hired, a quick 1-3 month deep dive into some niche tech which you could plausibly link to education to past experience would make sense. Then presumably remote work combined with trying to get visa sponsorship. Maybe broaden from US to US/CA/AU/etc.

Maybe a therapist, but no personal experience with that. Objectively there are good reasons to be unsatisfied with where you are in life, but I'd personally rather just fix those reasons rather than discuss with someone why they are that way, etc.
