Contrast with an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Those basically help pay for private mental health counseling, clinicians for social/family issues, etc. Anything outside work that makes it hard to do well at work.

Especially during and after COVID I had several employees that lost family or were just generally mentally losing it. I was able to give them the corporate EAP URL.

For some people the fact that the process of getting an appointment with a clinician is corporate and structured (and at least partly paid-for) makes it easier.
