I guess I feel like I'm his only client who does any of this but maybe I am wrong. I'll see if he responds. I check my email every 2 minutes.

Totally understand the checking the email every 2 minutes!!
I understand he is straight CBT. And I imagine that influences how he deals with neediness in clients, but it's still his job to deal with it in a compassionate way. I'm sure you know that doesn't mean giving you everything you ask for or think you want. But it does mean compassion and support. not judgment or blame.
I want to say we've all been there. I don't know that that's true. I know I've been there.
