CBT *can* be exactly what you're looking for. You just need to screen prospective therapists carefully. I had the exact same reaction to the CBT concepts of changing thoughts, but my therapist framed most of the interventions in terms of changing behaviors, not thoughts, and that helped. Challenging assumptions maybe, but not "just think differently".
Sometimes you just need to shop around a lot.
And remember that a lot of us are on this board because 12 week CBT wasn't what we needed. Those of us who started with CBT had therapists who acknowledged that and adapted.
