I was about to say much the same thing, that in CBT/therapy in general approval is usually referred to as ‘endorsement’.
Slightly-related anecdote: my therapist extended the endorsement terminology all the way out to her personal preferences: when discussing what books we read, I asked her if she’d read Twilight and her response was “yes, but I don’t endorse [that I read it]” with a trace of embarrassment.
Also, with a set up like that it seems necessary to add a link to Alicorn’s Twilight fanfic, Luminosity, that changes Bella to be radically better at the skills described in the luminosity sequence than she is in canon, with more self-awareness and capacity for self-management (radically changing her social capacities and therefore her romantic trajectory—its squarely in the scifi/fantasy genre and not at all a romance novel).

Cute story :-)
