I've moved around a few times, so I've actually had 3, who have all been great, that I saw regularly in different towns. All have usually offered comment on it, and asked questions like "What resonated with you about this article/book?" I felt that they appreciated my effort to help myself and take responsibility, not just depend on them to "fix" me or grant wishes. Sometimes they affirmed it, or had even read it themselves, or sometimes point out the ways it might not be helpful if that's how they felt. I think that's a sign of a good therapist, one that isn't trying to have full control but instead treats your therapy as a partnership towards health.
