My T is always very "inside the box" also. The one thing he does that I know some think is a bit outside the box is that he is the therapist for my husband and my son also. We've even had one session with all 5 of us in the room. I, personally, don't find that really outside the box at all; he is well-trained in family therapy, but I just know many here have T's that absolutely won't see family members or some of you who wouldn't want your T to see family members.

Otherwise, he's pretty conventional with me. I like it that way though. Now, he would like me to join his evening yoga/cbt/mindfulness group that he runs with his girlfriend who is a yoga instructor, but that's just not my thing.
