Does my 19 year old daughter need to seek therapy about her complusive shopping?

She has her own job and currently is the owner of a debit card. She spends like its going out of style. there is NO need for her to be buying 40 dollar bras, 60 dollar jeans, 300 dollar handbags, and fishing out 26 dollars for mascara, 14 dollars for eyeliner, and 14 dollars for lipgloss. that is completely uncalled for. So I just told her to hand me over her wallet, and i took her debit card Apparently she cannot control her shopping urges, so i’m doing it for her. She calls it retail therapy. i call it an ADDICTION that needs to be medicated. I told her she will not step FOOT into a shopping mall for 3-4 months. and she will also not be allowed to buy anything. She has enough clothes in her room to last her a lifetime i’m sure, what’s the need for more. I caught her in her room crying.
