Therapist here. Ask your therapist what his views are on the problem and what is the course of action before starting therapy. Of course not everybody adheres to a structured treatment, but every therapy needs objectives, and the patient must participate in formulating said objectives.

Research shows that patient-therapist's level of agreement and mutual understanding on "what is the issue" and "how do we tackle it" is more closely linked to treatment response than whatever theoretical framework and technique the therapist adheres to.

Bottom line is, when the client understands what is going on, he's more likely to change it through therapy.
