This is an interesting point and seems to be quite universal when talking about choosing a T. I know I like the psychodynamic approach but I donīt know how to choose a T as there seem to be no way to eliminate all uncertainties. I thought choosing a psychoanalytic T would perhaps be a "safer choice" when looking for a T who can handle different issues in the therapeutic relationship as complaints and so on. You can ask a potential T about their approach to transference and countertransference and so on but how the T actually acts in therapy seems very hard to get to know about.

In terms of how therapists handle questions, complaints and concerns from clients, this, mostly has to do with their personalities, not their theoretical orientation.
