it's all about why you are in therapy. if you are seeking general every-day support around ambiguous life problems, "go with the flow" might be what you are looking for. If you go in with specific short-term goals, then certainly look for a T that will help with those goals...

If you ask a T about goals, and they give ambiguous answers that do not satisfy you, then look for another T.

If I'm going to a dentist for an annual check-up and expect everything to be fine, I'm good with "going with the flow", but if I went to a dentist for severe tooth pain, I'd want a clear treatment plan to meet my goal of getting rid of my tooth pain.

I think people forget that everyone goes to therapy with different goals and ideals. If you don't like the service you are getting (as with any paid service), find another provider.
