Struggling with Insomnia? CBT and DBT Can Help—Expert, Compassionate Care at CBT California
If you’re lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, and wondering if you’ll ever sleep soundly again—you’re not alone. Insomnia can affect every part of your life: your mood, your health, your ability to focus, and even your relationships. But the good news is that there are powerful, proven therapies that can help—and they don’t involve medication.
At CBT California, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–based strategies to help you overcome sleep problems with care, expertise, and compassion.
What Is CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)?
CBT-I is the gold standard, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. Unlike sleeping pills, which only treat symptoms, CBT-I helps you get to the root of your sleep difficulties by identifying and changing the thoughts, habits, and behaviors that interfere with rest.
With support from our skilled clinicians, CBT-I can help you:
-
Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
-
Reduce racing thoughts and nighttime anxiety
-
Break the frustrating cycle of poor sleep and exhaustion
-
Rebuild a healthy, natural sleep routine
CBT-I is structured, practical, and tailored to your individual needs. Most people see meaningful improvements in just a few weeks.
How DBT Can Support Better Sleep
For some people, insomnia is tied to stress, anxiety, trauma, or intense emotions. That’s where DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) comes in. DBT helps regulate the emotional and physiological factors that often disrupt sleep—especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed or “wired but tired.”
DBT can help you:
-
Calm your nervous system before bedtime
-
Reduce emotional reactivity and nighttime rumination
-
Develop mindfulness techniques to quiet the mind
-
Create a sense of safety and stability around sleep
Many people benefit from a combined approach, using both CBT-I and DBT strategies to tackle insomnia from all angles.
