Psychological therapy during rebooting?

Yes, even in recovery circles they will flat out say the addiction is the symptom - but there is a matter of curbing the addiction so you can live your life without it screwing things up, the more extreme cases people can't hold a job and get by.

I don't think you do therapy for an addiction if it is the symptom, you do it for you - for healing yourself and your life. Addiction is a part of that and I think it will be healed as you dig deeper.

I've only ever done short term therapy and never tied it in with PMO but a lot of people in recovery have some kind of trauma, the most obvious connection with it would be sexual trauma. Some of them are dealing with other addictions like alcohol but a lot of people tend to have more than one addiction too. From the people I've met it seems the ones that are doing better continually work on themselves and it isn't just going to the therapist and hoping they will fix them, community is a big part of it whether it's a recovery focused one or otherwise.
