There is a malicious way of telling truths, which is what Loki often specialized in. At best, he is a highly equivocal figure. (As indeed is Wotan himself---Stephen Flowers has some interesting hints about overlap between those two.)He's scarcely the therapeutic figure your post suggests.

I admit my study of the Norse traditions is limited at best, however I have found Loki to be very hard for scholars to pin down. Even in the stories and tales where he features a role, most often he is being tricked or cajoled into first causing, then also solving the problems of the other gods. And there isn't really much (if any) documentation of any prayers or rites directed specifically at or to him.

Overly Sarcastic, an old-favorite youtube channel I follow, actually does a very interesting deep dive on Loki and just how little we know for sure about him. On rhe whole I find their information to be pretty well researched and detailed. (With the occasional bit of dry humor to keep things entertaining)

I knew a German lass some time ago who said Loki was the patron deity of her family. I never really ferreted out her meaning. She stood me up the next go-round. (Maybe Loki's trickery?) Bad-boys (so-called) have their charisma. A few Mongol families still consider the anti-Bolshevik leader, Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, to have been either (or both) Begtse the war-god or an avatar of Mahakala, the Vajrayana Buddhist drahla.
