You are right. There is no such thing as long term CBT. CBT just takes as long as it takes, which is rarely very long.
Certain things can make CBT take a long time--a long time in CBT is maybe a couple of years. For example, if you have a personality disorder that sabotages your ability to work with your therapist, then any therapy will take longer.
Having two therapists at the same time might make it difficult for you to get results. To avoid bad interactions, ensure the two always deal with separate issues. If the CBT is any good, you might start to find your psychodynamic starts to feel irrelevant. Or it might happen the other way around. Go with the flow.
