Trusting a random person, who you do not know with your secret identity? Seriously? It is part of a therapist's job to help you figure out your psychological problems. It's not good to hide details from them. Besides, a blabbermouth would never be hired as a therapist. Everything you say in therapy, is confidential. If they can't trust a therapist, then they shouldn't have a therapy session. If Caitlin went to therapy about her Killer Frost problem, what would she tell the therapist if she can't trust him/her? You can't trust anyone with your secret. Not even your therapist. Want proof? Superman went to therapy once in Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman, and he dealt with all the problems without the therapist knowing he was Clark. So he went to therapy as Superman? Not as Clark? Well at least Superman has less to hide than Clark, considering Superman can show his powers. I haven't seen any episode of Lois and Clark. But did the therapist ask any questions about Superman's personal life? Superman didn't lie to the therapist, did he? Do you have a link to a video? Can't find the clip. It is from the 90s to very early 2000s.

Anyway, in it, Superman had been affected by Red Kryptonite and didn't save anyone due to his heroism being sapped from him. He went to a shrink, thinking it was just something wrong with him. He hadn't said much about his life during the session. However he had admitted he was attracted to Lois. The rest he kept a secret from the therapist. He did end up figuring it out with her and he destroyed the Red-K. So yeah, other heroes do this. Not just the Flash. However it is easier to do this when in costume rather than outside the suit. Though considering it is couple's therapy, they couldn't do what Supes did.
