It seems like they really enjoy the feeling of "limiting" and "modulating" a person's behavior.
A lot of people also seem to think that, that they enjoy a position of power and certain "prestige". They act like they're the boss of your life and hold all the secrets and knowledge to human existance.
Rarely they'll be realistic and go like "this is just superficial advice, I can't really treat mental problems and give sounding advice that will fix your life". They'r eusually quite sure footed and matter of fact in what they advice, and they automatically assume you're looking for their approval or disapproval on what you say.
Sorry if I'm not making this clear... I just really get annoyed at how most therapists i've seen where exactly like that. Stated opinion as fact and acted like their some sort of behavioral authority figure.
Often people complain about other things: because of they never give advices but ask: what do you think? and never offer a own opinion and a way to follow.
Psychologist instead do as you said more often. And of course psychiatrist.
Maybe you need to change psychoanalyst orientation.
