Why psychedelics help some people and not others is one of the most interesting open research questions.
Still, there are ways that you can maximize your chances of getting therapeutic benefit out of psychedelics.
Doing psychedelics with a trained psychedelic therapist that you like, respect, and trust is probably the most effective way.
Something else you can do is read some good guides like James Fadiman's The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide[1] and the MAPS Treatment Guide for MDMA Assisted Psychotherapy[2]

it should be done with a therapist to get reliable results.
i'm a highly introspective person and worked 10% of the times for me.

so it worked for you when you finally did it with a therapist? or it worked 10% of all the time spent with a therapist?
During mine, I cried a lot, I texted my mum but I'm still inside the same hole that I was in before. Also some additional experiments with LSD (halfdose as well microdosing) didn't help with my depression.
