I get it. I live in a small, rural town. So finding a therapist that 1) I haven’t known since childhood and 2) is not a former student is impossible. And finding an online therapist who specializes in caregiver support has been challenging. I found one, but her advice was to find respite care or an adult day care. (My small town might technically have such programs—but the quality is poor.). I’ve realized (like you) that the mental strain is the worst. So I’m going to start the search for an online therapist again.
