No, primal therapy is not a good therapy. It is based on some outdated psychological ideas such as catharsis (see debunking work by Bushman and others), memory repression (see debunking work of McNally and others), and the idea that the brain stores memories of every part of experience (see for the debunking work of Loftus, and others). There are other flaws too, but that is a start.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy would be good for which problem?

An anxiety disorder, depression, and ADHD. The therapy helps your brain erase how it reacts to certain things (in a negative way) and retrains it to cope using methods given, (in a positive way)!
