I think his perspective is rather simplistic. He appears to discount chronic mental illness as a cause for attending therapy. While I do not think he is lying about what he says are the most common reasons people seek therapy, I don't think issues such as job satisfaction and relationship issues are always as simple as they appear. I think they can sometimes be manifestations of bigger issues. I also don't think it is unusual for people to find more things they want to work on after resolving the issue that brought them to therapy.

I guess I feel a bit irritated that this asshole wants to boot people out of therapy when they might not be ready. For all we know, the clients he sees - for such a short period - simply find another therapist after terminating with him. This wouldn't be very surprising since he sounds rather pushy and demanding. I can see how many passive clients, or those seeking therapy for the first time, would allow their needs to be subverted to his will. He also sounds rather judgemental, so it wouldn't be surprising if his clients lie about making changes, are relieved to be discharged, and either find another therapist or give up on therapy.

Sure, could many therapists do better about focusing their clients and making sure sessions are productive? Probably. However, I don't think his way of doing things is any better. He sounds more like a life coach than a therapist. And if he sees his purpose as giving opinions and advice, I think he's considerably overpaid, particularly in the internet age.

Finally, I think his position is a bit condescending. He assumes he knows how his clients need to be treated, and he thinks it's his duty to "push" them to achieve their goals. I don't feel it's his place to do that. He seems rather paternalistic and authoritarian. He also seems to operate either from a place of little of no empathy, or a place of privilege in relation to life struggles or mental wellness.
