In my experience, the question "what kind of therapy is appropriate" is less important than it seems. What matters more is the personal chemistry, or lack of it, between you and the therapist. An empathetic connection creates a space where things are able to change and heal. Conversely, lack of it makes the work more mechanical and one can keep at that for years without improvement. Not everyone can help everyone.
If I were you, I'd look around until I found a practitioner that I felt a connection with. That doesn't mean finding someone who tells you what you want to hear. It's more whether you have a grain of feeling that this person might be able to help you through whatever process you need. That seems to vary a lot with who they are (edit: or rather with the tuple <you,they>). Best of luck.
