The one I see has a focus on psychodynamic listed on her website and she talks a lot and gives feedback. Sometimes I have to tell her to just be quiet for a minute. I do not want advice, but I had "no sitting in silence without direction from the therapist" on my list of requirements and I asked on the phone and in the first appointment about that - so I think it may just take some more intense interviewing them rather than any certain type. The one I see is a social worker, not ph.d so that could make a difference. The three social workers (LCSWs) I have seen (one about 25 years ago) and the two recent ones were all talkers/feedbackers. The one in the middle who was ph.d was the silent one I left after just a couple of months. She was horrible for me.
