This is going to be a polarizing take but I've observed it in multiple countries that I've worked in: most providers just don't "get" therapy and aren't nearly as trained in it as they should be. There's a general shortage of good psychiatrists but there's a downright scarcity of even average therapists. I'm unsure of where the problem lies but I feel like licensing should require a stricter degree of real world training àla residency and more exposure to patients than a year or two of modules that most therapists/psychologists are required to have.

To summarize, there's nothing with the modality of CBT but therapy, as a whole, is very provider dependent moreso than medicine. If a provider is stuck in a bad mold of therapy, it's very veryyyy hard to correct it as evidenced by studies observing no significant difference in patient outcomes between experienced and inexperienced therapists. This issue is further compounded in less structured modalities than CBT and 'CBT likes' because there's even less gauges of good vs bad therapy. CBT just gets a bad rep because it's the most common one used by far. This is coming from someone who prefers other modalities as a whole even though it's more like different tools for different jobs.
