I have envy issues and I need to get clear. But will therapy truly help? I used to go to therapy because of depression back in college but we ended up just talking about random shit that came to my mind, and I feel it will turn out the same if I attempted it again.
I think it depends on the kind of person you are. I am the same as you, and am starting to feel therapy is a just a place where people pay to have a "friend". If you aren't afraid to tackle your issues and already have a good support group then it's probably not worth it.
Fuck even talking to internet strangers is more helpful usually.

I don't have a support group.
So, anon, how do I stop being envious to such an extreme that it makes me depressed and blocks me from just going about my buisiness?

I have envy issues and struggle with anxiety and (maybe) depression. Been doing therapy and it helped in all fronts. It probably depends on the person and the therapist. In sime sessions I do just end up talking about random shit but some times my therapist can guide the conversation to places that really make me perceive things about my self that I wasn't aware. Also, going to therapy thinking it won't be helpfull will potentially really make it not helpfull! In my case therapy helped me perceive that my envy issues are directly related to my shity self esteem and feelings of exclusion. and it helped me cope with that.

This may sound stupid but here it goes: try going about your business without caring what other's businesses are or what they think about your business

Low self-esteem is definitely a factor with me, always been, however it's gotten terribly bad over the past year. Exclusion/isolation has played a role, as well.
I already had these conclusions without a therapist. There has to be a deeper cause.
