In my opinion, and in what I have read, their job is not to give advice to anyone. Some of them try to do it anyway. I choose those who will listen when I tell them I don't want their advice. I am not there for a therapist to tell me what to do or what they think about what I do.

For example see
"4. I’m not supposed to give you advice, but I will anyway.

The first thing a young therapist in training learns is that psychotherapy is, Do not give advice to your clients. “If a person needs advice, they should talk to a friend,” one of my professors said in class. And yet, most therapists end up doling out advice as though their client’s lives depended upon it. Even cognitive-behavioral therapists will give advice, disguising it in the form of “homework” — “Why don’t you try keeping a journal of your irrational thoughts?” It’s a successful strategy for most to try, but it’s still advice."
