Sleep Issues
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When sleep becomes unreliable, insomnia can quickly affect mood, concentration, and overall functioning. Many adults find themselves caught in a cycle where stress, racing thoughts, or irregular sleep patterns make it increasingly difficult to rest. I help clients identify the factors contributing to insomnia and develop practical strategies that support healthier, more consistent sleep.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
One of our clinicians at Alignment Psychotherapy PLLC specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based, first-line treatment for chronic sleep difficulties. This approach focuses on identifying and changing the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that interfere with healthy sleep, rather than relying solely on medication. Our clinician works collaboratively with clients to address issues such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep. Treatment may include strategies like sleep scheduling, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring around sleep-related anxiety, and building sustainable sleep habits that align with the body’s natural rhythms. With a structured yet personalized approach, CBT-I can lead to lasting improvements in sleep quality and overall well-being. Our goal is to help clients regain confidence in their ability to sleep and develop practical tools that support long-term, restorative rest.
