Given the headline of the post, I think “therapy framework / therapist” match would be one reason why different therapists might think that different frameworks are better. It’s quite natural for therapists to believe that the framework with which they achieve bigger results are generally better.
If you ask either a surgeon or a physiotherapist about what should be done for a given patient, the surgeon is all things equal more likely to recommend surgery and the physiotherapist physiotherapy.
hard for a non-expert to evaluate expert competence
I’m not sure that in this fields experts have an ability to evaluate expert competence that’s better than judging report. As far as I remember there are studies that show that patient evaluated empathy (with is roughly rapport) correlates with treatment outcomes but I’m not aware of expert evaluations correlating with treatment outcomes.
Also, judging a coach or therapist about whether you get clear benefits in the first sessions seems another thing that’s doable by anyone and support by the literature.
