I think there are times when "Have you considered therapy" needs to be said, but it depends a lot on how you say it. There's a difference between "I'm going to be here for you as long as you need me, but have you considered getting professional help also, because I'm worried I might not be enough" and "You're getting all your icky sad feelings on me and it makes me uncomfortable, please get a therapist so you can do 100% of your sad talking to them."
