Both medication and therapy together have shown maximum results and chance of symptoms coming back after stopping medication are more if you are not doing therapy
Second there many different therapy available not just cbt , like relaxation, mindfulness, psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapy etc
Third if it is ocd , then review the dasage of medication with the psychiatrist
