Therapy works for psychosis, especially paired with medication. Evidence-based approaches help people recover and return to the activities and goals they set aside during psychotic episodes.
Here's a question I get asked sometimes: Does therapy actually work for psychosis? My answer: Yes, it does. It helps, usually in conjunction with medication, but there are very good therapies for people who have psychosis. There are specialized evidence-based treatments that work really well to help people reach a place of recovery where they can go live that recovery-oriented life that they want, and they can go back and do the things they've always wanted to do, and the things that maybe they got deterred from for a little while by psychosis, but not permanently.
