My t is a clinical psychologist who uses CBT to help me keep my bipolar mood swings in check; however, she also uses analytical talk therapy to work on ptsd from csa and other childhood problems. I find this most useful for me because the CBT allows me to define and use strategies when necessary in my mental states, while the talk therapy is allowing me to slowly heal from my past.
Btw, I don't have nor do I want the loving relationship with my t that many posters discuss on this board. If you want this kind of relationship, you may consider going with the one who is the talk therapist instead of the more clinical one.
