I've also done CBT for social anxiety and depression and it's helped a lot, especially with the former. And even when it doesn't "work" in the sense of steering emotions or behavior in a healthier direction I've found it comforting at least to be able to identify cognitive distortions for what they are. I think something like, "OK, so I'm still not able to do X but I see what the problem is and some day it won't stop me."
