Never say never...
Who knows what theraputic techniques have yet to be developed...

> I wouldn't include schizophrenia, autism, or bipolar I as things that could be helped with therapy without medication AT ALL.

I would say it still depends a great deal on the particular individual with the disorder...

>There are probably some forms of depression that would also fit into this category, but I'm not sure medical science can identify the causes all that well yet. And even for illnesses that are as clearly biological as schizophrenia or autism, therapy could be a helpful adjunct for living with a chronic illness.

All illnesses are clearly biological.
I am a materialist.
There isn't any immaterial 'mind stuff' so of course mental illness is a form of physical illness.
Thoughts arise from neural signals.
And you are absolutely correct with respect to environment (and talk is part of that) affecting neural changes
