Are people in therapy happier than people who are not in therapy?
Let me try this again, because I might not have stated myself clearly. If you don't control for the fact that subjects might be getting therapy from other sources or in other capacities, you can't trust the findings.
I couldn't find anything in a quick 10 minute search that would directly answer your question. But you might try looking at research that uses the Satisfaction With Life Scale, if you think what they are using to operationally define happiness matches up to what you think happiness is.

Why don't people on here respect other people's opinions?

Right wing crazies hate certain people, are YOU one of those people?
According to the neighborhood right wing crazies, I'm a threat to society. I tried fighting back for some time, but nothing ever worked. I reported my direct neighbors for violent comments directed at myself, but I mostly ignore and avoid everyone to the best of my ability.
