In contemporary societies, the increasing diversity of daily life needs and challenges has rendered psychological consultation a widespread phenomenon, addressing a broad spectrum from work stress management and family conflict resolution to life crises, self-awareness improvement, and personal growth; this article analyzes and critiques Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the predominant approach in counseling and psychotherapy through a philosophical lens, framing it as a form of psychological technology. Utilizing Albert Borgmann's theoretical framework, it demonstrates that CBT aligns with the "device paradigm"—a standardized approach that, despite structured efficacy, reduces the depth of human experience, neglects socio-cultural contexts, and renders the therapeutic relationship mechanical. Subsequently, employing Borgmann's concept of the focal thing and practices, the article proposes reform strategies: strengthening authentic therapeutic relationships through empathy and active participation, integrating mindfulness to enrich lived experiences, utilizing group CBT to revitalize social bonds, and designing meaningfully interactive digital tools. These transformations shift CBT from a technically reductive instrument of instrumental rationality toward a focal practice that alleviates symptoms while enriching human relationships in family and society. Finally, acknowledging the limitations in Borgmann's approach, the article emphasizes the need to integrate it with Don Ihde’s postphenomenology and Feenberg’s critical theory of technology to better encompass the cultural and contextual dimensions in contemporary psychotherapy.
