The thing therapy has helped me with in regards to that is feeling okay despite it all. Being content despite not having all of our wants and needs fulfilled is a valuable skill.
Being content despite not having needs met feels like a skill thats more valuable to my boss than me. Nah im gonna get my needs met.
There's only so much that can be done to meet one's needs. There will always be wants and needs that go unfulfilled, it's just the nature of being human. Being able to exist with that, without it causing you extreme distress, is a very valuable coping skill that's lost in a lot of people.
This doesn't mean eschew meeting your needs completely, but simply acknowledging that some may be actually impossible to fulfill right now, at least safely, and working on an actual viable plan, instead of panicking and doing whatever short-term fix seems handy.
That's not what 'needs' means.
