p.s.

here is an old thread, dont know if you might find some useful info there: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showt...ight=cognitive

and a PC article on it: http://psychcentral.com/lib/2007/in-...ioral-therapy/

one thing to keep in mind is that CBT is the gold standard therapy against which pretty much every other therapy is measured. so it might be worth giving it a go, even if it is for a short time. i think it's kind of the building block that everyone needs to try first, and then if there are further problems you can look further afield.
