I agree and think this is very well said.

I would only add that a good therapist should be able to employ a CBT skills when necessary, in the context of a warm, psychodynamic approach.

CBT can be helpful with learning skills in logic, critical thinking and organization. Counselling is usually warmer and more comforting for emotional pain.

Medication won't teach you these skills and it's not an illness that can be diagnosed (I'm not saying you don't have a mood disorder in addition to this), this is something you need to talk about to another person face to face, and preferably a professional because things can get messy when you try enlist friends as therapists.
