I can totally relate to this. I've had very brief encounters with CBT practicing therapists, and every time I met with one of them I felt that it was a joke. I really hope I am not insulting anyone here who is receiving CBT therapy and finds it helpful. It's not my intention to disparage it. If it works for you, by all means, stick with it. I do believe it works for some people. Not for me. I felt that all the CBT ideas were coming from purely logical, intellectual place that was already highly developed in me. If it had been possible to resolve my emotional problems through pure logic and rational thinking, I would've done it with no professional or any other help long ago since my rational, logical brain had been very developed. I needed to understand the logic of emotions, which is literally what psychology is, on its own merit, not through the intellectual logic.

In any case, whenever you feel too smart on any level for the therapist you are seeing, it's a clear sign to move on to seeing someone else who will better match your needs.
