Depends on the insurance company some of the time (insurance companies like CBT because it's short term which means that they have to pay less). CBT is generally 6-8 sessions total. It is very solution focused and generally short term. But some therapists will use CBT in their work with clients (in the longer-term), but not just CBT usually though. At a certain point, you can only learn so much CBT.
There could be a contract between client and T deciding how long it would last. T's wouldn't generally just terminate without a good reason (I'd hope!)
