What is CBT-I?
CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is a structured, short-term therapy that helps you understand and reset the thoughts, habits, and physiological patterns that keep you awake. Unlike sleep medications, which temporarily mask symptoms, CBT-I treats the root causes of insomnia.
Research shows that CBT-I is more effective than sleep medication — and improves sleep long after treatment ends.
CBT-I helps you:
Fall asleep faster
Stay asleep longer
Break the cycle of nighttime worry
Reduce dependence on sleep aids
Improve energy, mood, and daytime functioning
Who is CBT-I for?
You may benefit from CBT-I if you experience:
Trouble falling asleep
Frequent nighttime awakenings
Waking up too early
“Racing thoughts” at night
Long-term insomnia despite medications
Irregular sleep schedules
Sleep disrupted by trauma, anxiety, or depression
As a virtual sleep psychologist, many of my clients struggling with insomnia have been struggling for months — sometimes years — before they reach out. It’s okay if you feel tired, frustrated, or overwhelmed. CBT-I gives you a structured path forward.
You won’t just receive generic sleep hygiene tips — because insomnia is not “fixed” by simply turning off screens. Instead, we will create an individualized treatment plan that targets the behaviors, beliefs, and cues affecting your sleep. The goal is to get you the sleep you need to get you back on track to living the life you want to live.
Here are some of the strategies we might use to help treat your insomnia:
tracking sleep using a sleep diary to get a better picture of your sleep patterns
sleep efficiency training
cognitive restructuring
relaxation techniques
stimulus control
You’ll receive tools and guidance to implement and maintain changes week-to-week. Each week we’ll check in about what’s working and what isn’t, with the goal of increasing the quality and quantity of your sleep.
What to Expect with Insomnia Therapy
“Is therapy for insomnia effective?”
YES! CBT-I is a highly effective approach to treating insomnia.
“How long does CBT-I take?”
Most CBT-I clients see meaningful changes in 6-8 sessions, although the amount of time needed can vary by individual.
“Do I have to stop taking my sleep medications?”
Nope. We will coordinate with your medication prescriber. CBT-I often works alongside medication and many are able to gradually reduce their use of medication over time.
“What if my insomnia is caused by trauma, anxiety, or depression?”
Research has shown that CBT-I is highly effective, even when the insomnia is connected to PTSD, depression, or anxiety. We’ll work together to look at the whole picture of your insomnia. You may found that treating your insomnia first helps to allow you to better focus on addressing your other mental health concerns in therapy afterwards.
