CBT for Insomnia

Reading this at 2 a.m.? CBT-I can help.

Maybe you have tried melatonin, sleep hygiene tips, calming teas, or even prescription medications. Maybe some of it worked, but only briefly. If you are still lying awake at night and dragging through your days, you are not alone. When sleep does not come, it can affect everything—energy, concentration, emotional balance, and hope.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the most effective, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. Recommended by the American College of Physicians, CBT-I targets the thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors that keep sleep problems going. It’s not a quick fix or a gimmick. CBT-I is a structured, short-term treatment that often works even when insomnia is linked to anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, or stress.

Most people begin noticing improvements within a few weeks. Treatment typically lasts between five and eight sessions, and the benefits are long-lasting.

Sessions begin with a comprehensive sleep assessment and result in a customized treatment plan based on your schedule, symptoms, and goals.

If you are tired of being tired, CBT-I offers a proven, medication-free path toward deep, restful sleep.

Therapy is available in person in Arlington, or via secure telehealth for clients in over 40 PSYPACT participating states. This allows individuals across much of the United States to access effective CBT-I treatment from a licensed psychologist, even if they do not live in Virginia.
