I just learned about Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and that sounds "kinder"/more interactive than CBT to me:

It's based on Relational Frame Theory: http://www.contextualpsychology.org/rft

"Through a variety of willingness, mindfulness, values and goal setting exercises, you may find that you can live your life as you desire even as you experience painful feelings and thoughts." From an ACT therapist's website.
