I always understood a therapist's job to help the client determine what's right/best for herself, not anyone else (including the therapist), otherwise it's disempowering.
fwiw, the last therapist I saw was very religious and while she didn't bring that into session, I was aware of her moral compass and it caused me to edit things. I now see a therapist where anything goes (in terms of whats shared) and there is zero sense of blaming or shaming.
