I agree with this, particularly that it really depends on what therapist you see.

Mine, for example, will share feedback/thoughts on things I'm saying, challenge me at times, make suggestions, and gently push me, while also providing support (and sometimes just focusing on the support aspect for long stretches, depending on my needs--like early in the pandemic). He's helped me become a better communicator with my spouse and others in my life and to get better about setting boundaries. And also not beating myself up so much for what I see as my failings. And other stuff. (This has taken place over the course of 7 years, not quickly.)

There have been many bumps in the road over that time, and some major ruptures along with more minor conflicts (I've almost left a couple times). But working through those has ultimately helped me, I think.

However, there's a very wide range of how therapists are, even within the same modality. I've seen a few with very different styles. And, per my therapist, studies have shown that therapist fit, not a specific style, is generally the best predictor of how someone will do in therapy. If someone doesn't connect with their therapist, doesn't feel supported or understood, etc., then the therapy may not be helpful, no matter how good the therapist could be on paper (or if they've helped many other people).
