Suspecting that most therapists are only useful inasmuch as they have good intuitive reads on people and (importantly) LIKE you w/o too much sentimentality.
There are lots of other approaches to therapy, and perhaps some of them are also good, but very many are harmful/useless.

Lots of problems brought into therapy basically boil down to having poor insight on self/acceptance of self, which can be improved by recognition & acceptance.
Therapist going "you seem to be about X (and that's probably fine)" clears a lot of personal noise from the signal.
