The Catholic Church as no problem with Cognitive and Behavior Therapy. In fact the Catholic University of America teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in the subject:
Undergraduate: PSY 373 Cognitive and Behavior Therapy
Graduate: PSY 745 Cognitive and Behavior Therapy
With love in Christ.

The Church supports medical and mental health for all people. The Behaviorists are not discreditted and in fact there are preists and members that are psychologists and psychitrists licensed by the appropraite bodies. Now humanistic theories may not be supported from the basis of orgin. Catholics believe in a divine spark. I'm certain CBT is used and if members choose to go into therapy it would not be prohibited it has it's place. The church isn't a negative thing or does it propose negative thinking by the way in the world view millions of people around the world in fact having a spiritual connection and a faith brings joy to many.

Sounds like Dianetics. So I don't think they like it very much.
