Research consistently shows that the factor most predictive of positive change in therapy is your relationship (and fit) with your therapist. Which would suggest not every therapist will be a perfect fit for every person, and shouldn't be. How do you go about finding the best therapist? Psychologists are trained in a variety of treatment modalities, but should ideally be able to adapt and change based on the needs of the person sitting in front of them. Just as you wouldn't expect a physician to prescribe one medication for everything that ailed you ("Here's an antibiotic for a sinus infection, joint pain, AND a broken leg!"), you shouldn't expect a cookie cutter approach from your therapist.
