> More studies showing the same results means they aren't suffering from the replication crisis, even if the exact same study isn't being replicated.

Not specific to CBT, but as a general point, replication crises are behind the scenes. Publication bias means only positive results get published, even if it's only the occasional lucky studies (or ones with overt cheating or innocent bad statistics) which come out positive. Researchers know about it and grumble privately, because they wasted months or years of effort before figuring out it's largely false. But this knowledge isn't generally what goes into archival publications.
