It depends on if the therapist ONLY does CBT or if it is one of the approaches she uses. I personally would never see a therapist who only used one modality of therapy.

That said, my therapist is very behaviorally oriented (CBT/REBT, etc.), but also incorporates other modalities as needed. As behavioral has he is, we most definitely looked at my past in the context of how it affected my present. I benefitted greatly from the behavioral approaches, and honestly, it is those skills that I continue to use most often now that I am no longer in therapy.

Definitely ask if CBT is her only therapy modality. If it is, it probably won't be a good match and you might should keep looking.
