I'm not sure what you mean. There's tons of evidence for a lot of different modalities. The catch is that the issues for which people seek long term therapy are usually not as amenable to being measured. So for example, while it's easy to demonstrate that CBT will help with specific phobias, it's harder to demonstrate that psychodynamic therapy helps people sort out existential unease and nagging sense of inferiority.
