This partly depends on your part of the world. The therapy you're describing is CBT. And in some places it's the only therapy available, unless you pay privately.
But if you're in an area that has more choice, you know that what you're looking for isn't pure CBT. That's a start.
You might want to check out the library or the internet for information on types of therapy. It sounds like you'd be most interested in interpersonal therapy or something analytical. If you ask potential therapists what sort of therapy they practice, and tell them something of what you're looking for, you should be able to weed out the ones that are clearly unsuitable.
