My CBT T I believe incorporates other techniques into our sessions, but he is very much a "homework" kind of guy (very few worksheets though).

I spoke up about feeling pressured by the homework so we only talk about that in the first 10 to 15 minutes. After that, it is a little more open ended. He says he is listening for "themes" in my free-form moments, when I'm all over the place. He is always trying to bring structure to our sessions.

You can always ask if your T will modify his/her approach if you need it.
