yes, it is a good approach.The labels themselves are based on subjective opinion and are often used as judgements of disdain so I'd personally agree that it's often better not to give someone a label to go by.
It honestly sounds like a good approach because there are people who use their diagnosis as an excuse for their bad behavior.
It happened to me because I once met a weird guy that, after dealing with psychologists and the suicide of an ex-partner, started labeling everything in psychological terms. So he introduced me to this wonderful world of psychological patterns, as he defined himself as co-dependent and his partner as dependent.
Playing the role of a psychologist, he started dissecting my behaviors and diagnosing me. So I got convinced that I needed to go to a psychologist, which in the end refused to put a label on me.
Otherwise today I would be saying that i'm bipolar, or something else.
