I was in private counseling almost the entire time my son was a foster child. Foster-adopt situations are so stressful, and therapy was an important tool for me to help keep it together and be a good parent. DSS here knew I was in therapy and supported it. My SW even said, "Healthy people know how to take care of themselves. We like to know that you have the capability of accessing resources when you need help, because that means you can do so for the kids, too."
YMMV, but I think counseling can be very helpful.
