Yes, you have to establish goals and be independent and there's little time for building trust or connection with the therapist. Why not, in that case, just buy some self-help books?
ETA: I don't mean to be dismissive of all short-term therapy, but it does seem more like guided self-help to me. For healing past traumas or dealing with attachment issues or longer-term mental health issues, I think that most of us need time to establish trust and connection with our T, and two to three months doesn't begin to give us enough time.
