I think it's difficult to simply recommend one type of therapy and expect it fit everybody's needs. Having said that, I would recommend CBT just because as far as I can tell, its effectiveness seems to backed by a lot of science.

I'm kind of in the same boat though. Finding a therapist takes a lot of work, and building up the motivation to do the work is especially difficult when you're depressed. It's a catch 22. When the depression passes, so does the motivation to find treatment.

Maybe if you have somebody close you can confide in, you should ask them to help you find a therapist. If you have any friends who are seeing therapists, their therapists may be able to refer you to others. In the US, many have sliding scales.

Good luck!
