I think it's at least worth giving a shot...

Yes, I would be ok with CBT if it wasn't strictly CBT. That is how my therapist in highschool was, I just didn't like the CBT aspects. I would see her again in a heartbeat though.

Yes, I have talked to my therapist about this, especially how I felt getting it for free. The fact that I am paying her reduces the feeling that I am not deserving enough. Yes, there are other things I feel like others should take priority, and yes it's related to childhood.
A bit of this is also that I am Canadian and think therapy should be free like the rest of our healthcare.
