Anxious tech workers are going to therapy

I'm not sure the qualification "medical grade" exists for therapy. You go if you feel like you need to go. You would see a psychiatrist for medicine-based solutions to your perceived or physical ailments.

Another aspect is that often times sensitive subjects involving the spouse come up that you have previously been unsuccessful in discussing with them, or you are simply uncomfortable discussing with them.

An easy comeback would be to say "you should be able to discuss anything with your spouse," but reality ain't that simple for everybody.

Is that really true? They genrrally draw lines around whether it affects one's day to day functioning or not.

That's when it's some form of problem. But just as you (should) go to a dentist or doctor routinely when you're not having a problem, you can do that as well with a therapist.
