I agree. If she really wanted to do CBT, she should have done it already.
I wouldn't force her to do it. If she doesn't want to do it, then it's not worth it. She might give you attitude or do something to spite you... or she'd do it begrudgingly.
You need to find a new therapist, one who actually listens to you. Remember: your therapist works for YOU. You're paying HER to do a specific job, and if she's not doing it, then she should be fired.
If you're nervous about breaking up with her, you can just give a BS reason, like, "I can't afford therapy anymore" or "I think I'm doing well and I think I'm done with therapy."
Another idea is (and I wouldn't really recommend it) sign up for another therapy appointment, then call her up later and cancel it. You can say the appointment doesn't work with your schedule, and that you'll call her back when you figure it out. (Of course you wouldn't call her back, but you tell her that anyway).
