I am sure you can manage just fine. Sometimes we can do better though with some professional assistance. And some people do truly need it to be successful.
My fiancée swears by CBT, he believes it changed his life completely. He doesn't believe he'd manage well without it. It's been years since he needed it and he probably never will again but he is walking advertisement for it. Lol
