You'll want the name of my therapist. (grin)
Not that he doesn't get annoyed from time to time, or frustrated at hearing the same thing over and over, but it passes quickly. He's immensely patient and understands that change is sometimes glacial with clients like me. But he does note the change as it occurs.
It sounds like pretty standard interpersonal type therapy to me. Anyone who says they're eclectic, or interpersonal, or something like that. Not someone who says they're strictly CBT.
And if that's what you want, therapist "fit" will be the most important factor. Interview interview interview. Find someone you like. And be upfront about what you hope therapy will be.
